One man's nine year dream is about to come true after he won planning consent to creat an £8 million pound marina in Kucuk Erenkoy, 30km east of Girne.
Work on Port Cyprium Marina is scheduled to begin in July at a cove in the village, which sits between Esentepe and Tatlisu.
Covering 27 donums, the marina complex with 32 villas is designed to realise the potential of yacht tourism in the TRNC's coastal waters. The 543 berth marina is to have boat repair, servicing and lifting facilities, a clubhouse with 20 guest bedrooms, a bar, 3 restaurants offering choices ranging from fast food to fine dining, a bowling green, gym and 2 tennis courts. Watersports including diving and sailing will also be available.
