A great property in a perfect location
Susie’s house provided exactly what we wanted for our vacation: comfortable and spacious accommodation, plenty of facilities to cook our own meals and a peaceful base from which to explore the area. It is located in Edremit which is a small village at the foot of the Kyrenian Mountains, just 20 minutes’ drive from the centre of Girne. There aren’t many shops or restaurants open in the village itself – a small supermarket, a basket shop and a ceramics shop whilst we were there in Sept/Oct – but we would thoroughly recommend the Follow Me restaurant which is a 20 minute walk out of the village towards the village of Karaman. The Hideaway hotel (5 minutes in the opposite direction) also welcomes non-residents, though we didn’t eat there ourselves.
We generally prefer to cook our own meals and the kitchen is perfect for this. A good selection of pans and utensils, a four-ring gas hob/oven and plenty of work space meant that our culinary creativity was unconstrained. The table and chairs in the covered patio area meant that we could enjoy our meals outside whilst enjoying the views of the beautiful garden but, if you prefer to eat indoors, there’s a large dining table with 6 chairs. There are plenty of supermarkets within a 10 minute drive, all offering a wide range of fresh produce and groceries.
The rest of the house is lovely too. There is loads of space, upstairs and down, and the first-floor balcony area provides a perfect place to sit, relax and enjoy the garden from a different angle.
There’s plenty to see and do nearby. St Hilarion castle is a great place to visit, but be prepared for lots of steps. We’d also recommend driving the road that runs along the top of the mountains from St Hilarion to Karsiyaka which offers great views of the island and beautiful forest scenery – ideal for walking too. Karaman village is also worth visiting, but don’t go on a Sunday when it is likely to be full of newly-wed couples and their families who have driven there just to have their wedding photos taken.
In summary, we would thoroughly recommend this property.
