Altinkaya Holiday Village Reviews – Kyrenia, North Cyprus

altinkaya

The Altinkaya Holiday Village lies just under a mile East of Kyrenia close to the picturesque village of Bellapais and is run by a very hospitable Turkish Cypriot family. Many guests return to the Altinkaya Holiday Village year after year owing to the friendly atmosphere  and staff where nothing really is too much bother.

Accommodation at the Altinkaya is comfortable with a choice of staying in a bungalow or room in the main hotel, most have stunning mountain views and coupled with good on-site facilities and amenities you are assured of a relaxing stay.

The Altinkaya Holiday Village and its hosts are also locally renowned for their restaurants, one which is on-site, offering local and international cuisine with dishes to suit all tastes. Dine either on the roof-top terrace with  beautiful mountain vistas or in the indoor restaurant, either way we are confident that you’ll be coming back for more…

Just some recent Altinkaya Holiday Village reviews…

“Thank you Cyprus Premier for a wonderful holiday at the Altinkaya Holiday Resort.  Everything was perfect from the moment we boarded the flight to the moment we landed back into the UK.  The hotel was extremely well run and the gardens were a beautiful setting to enjoy the warm Cyprus sun.  We had an amazing time and will definitely be recommending the Altinkaya Holiday Village and Cyprus Premier to my friends and family” – – Mrs R. Symonds

“The Altinkaya Holiday Village is a very friendly hotel where the staff were very obliging and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in a room with an amazing mountain view, the views in the morning were particularly picturesque and were used countless times as backdrops in our photos – truly stunning!” — Mr G. Brooker

“This Altinkaya hotel in Kyrenia is excellent value for money! Can’t thank Cyprus Paradise’s staff more for recommending it. We stayed in a room at the back of the complex with a balcony and fantastic views of the mountain range. Room was very clean and comfortable. One thing I feel I need to mention was the friendliness of all the staff, absolutely nothing was too much trouble for them and they took ‘service with a smile’ to an entire new level. A lot of the other guests there were returning visitors which I gather speaks volumes for the Altinkaya. There is a very informal atmosphere here and it was very easy to just relax. The grounds are very well kept and attractive as is the pool area. We could walk into Kyrenia harbour in about 20mins although there was also a free shuttle service into town for when we couldn’t be bothered! I cannot rate the Altinkaya Hotel highly enough, we’ll be back next year!” — Mrs L. Wren.

Key TakeAways

There are various tourist information offices in North Cyprus:

Kyrenia – in the Old Harbour
Lefkosa – by Kyrenia Gate
Famagusta – the Land Gate (the main entrance to Famagusta old town)
Ercan Airport – located inside the airport

Most electrical plugs in North Cyprus are the 3 pin type, the same as in the UK.

Occasionally, three to two pin adaptors are necessary, however this is quite rare nowadays.

North Cyprus observes the religious holidays of Islam and like the religious holidays in the Christian Church they are moveable feasts.

Ramadan is a period of fasting followed by three days of feasting called Kurban Bayram (feast of the Sacrifice). The date of Ramadan changes each year.

Other major holidays are:

New Years Day, January 1st.

Children’s Day, April 23rd.

Labour Day, May 1st.

Youth and Sports Day, May 19th. Peace and Freedom Day, July 20th.

Communal Resistance Day, 1st August.

Victory Day 30th August.

Turkish National Day, 29th October.

Independence Day 15th November, (proclamation of TRNC in 1983).

The currency in North Cyprus is the Turkish Lira, which has a constantly fluctuating exchange rate. For this reason, shopkeepers and restaurant owners are fully conversant with all major currencies and bills can be paid in UK Sterling, Euros and US Dollars as well as local currency.

If you change your money into Turkish Lira in North Cyprus, you will generally get a much better exchange rate than you would otherwise get in the UK.

There are many money exchange bureaux in all of the major towns. Major UK Credit and Debit cards are widely accepted, and can be used in cash machines, however you should ensure that you inform your bank before you travel so that they do not block your card. You should also enquire about charges to use your card abroad.

Travellers Cheques as well as Scottish banknotes are not widely accepted in North Cyprus and changing them can be very difficult.

If you have an accident, or have a medical emergency, you can visit one of the state hospitals in Kyrenia, Famagusta or Lefkosa. Private hospitals are also found in most towns.

Minor cuts and bruises will be treated usually free of charge in the state hospitals. However, major medical treatment can incur a hefty bill and it is essential that you take out comprehensive insurance cover for your holiday, and that your insurance covers you for Turkey as well as Europe. Please ensure that any pre-existing medical conditions that you may have are notified to the insurance company prior to travel. Failure to notify them may well render the insurance cover null and void.

Please note that the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is NOT accepted in North Cyprus.
