BELLAPAIS AND TOURIST INFORMATION
Amazing views from Girne/Kyrenia Castle
Bellapais is the town that inspired many authors, including Lawerance Durrel who wrote the famous books 'Bitter
Lemons' and started the ' Alexandria Quartet' in the mid 1950's, as well
as famous photographers and artists alike. Additionally the Byzantine Abbey in the town is featured on all Northern Cypriot advertisements on the London buses and bill-boards throughout the country. The locality of the apartment is in an extremely prestigious part of the whole of Cyprus.
Bellapais Town
ABBEY AND CONCERTS
Bellapais Abbey
There are some amazing views from different parts of the abbey. The main hall holds numerous numbers of concerts of classical music, which are regularly attended by leading Cypriot politicians and famous local stars. The programme of Classical Music can be found on the abbey's entrance hut adjacent to the actual 'tree of idleness' cafe.

WALKS & SPORTS
Plenty of walks, trekking and mountain climbing in around the local area.
FOOTBALL:
The Cypriots are avid fans of football. If you would like to play, just ask some of the people at the Bellamoon for availability of an instructor who can teach all the budding young David Beckhams.
SPORTS:
Sailing, boat cruises, rock climbing, golf, paragliding, gun club, and every type of water sports are all on offer. Additionally, FREE bicycles are available at the apartments for guests to use.
DANCE:
In addition from your regular entertainment on weekend, there is access to Salsa and Tango via the Turkish web sites or alternatively ask the local record shop in Girne. They have details of the night and venue where Salsa and Tango takes place in Nicosia.
BEACHES
Nearest: The local beaches are varied to suit different needs. The nearest beach is by Kyrenia Castle although you will want to explore others too. Whilst visiting from the perimeter walls you will see the lovely bay area beside the castle. This is fine to swim in and has many rocks which you can climb if you are feeling adventurous, although there can be a little litter. The very basic beach cafe is run by an ex-lawyer from Germany, who can be charming and enjoys English speaking company.
Commercial: Acapulco beach is a more typical manicured and commercial beach that stretches along a lovely bay. It is owned by a hotel that serve good food, has facilities for volleyball, etc, etc. The downside to this beach is that it has beach chairs running all along the beach front area, which detracts slights from the natural beauty of the beach area.
Beautiful: There is of course Lara beach just four minutes drive further than Accapulo beach/hotel which is highly recommended. It has a rock in the middle of the bay that makes for good pictures. The small restaurant serves some good fish and chips from what quests have told me. The sea is clear and there is plenty of marine life, places to swim and walks.
There are numerous quiet bays along the coast, most of which untouched by developers and accessible to all. Please feel free adventure and tour round. There will be plenty to see: The Alagai Beach is a drive of around 40 minutes from the Bellapais appartments, and well worth it.
TURTLE WATCHING:
The best time to watch the turtles nesting is at the end of June and beginning of July. Hatching is best during the end of August and beginning of September.
RESTAURANTS
There are approximately 9 restaurants to choose from in the local village.
The Bellamoon Restaurant
The local family owners (my aunt, uncle and first cousins are friendly and welcoming) have endowed this low-key restaurant with an extremely endearing quality. There are a small community of locals that tend to meet up regularly, adding to the ambience. Feel free to say hello and join in the festivities! The food is well price, more importantly the quality of the organic meat is of a very high standard. The meats are marinated daily in local spices and herbs. The Meze are well laid out, and you will find the drinks here are inexpensive - additionally they to give a free glass with every main meal you consume. Discount of 10% for guests at the apartments!
The Uzac Bar/ Restaurant
Here you can witness the sunsets and Abbey from the upper levels of the wooden veranda. Or alternatively go for entertainment on Friday or Saturday night and you can have fish or meat with meze for a fixed price. At around 9:30 pm (I think - best to check) a very exciting belly dancer will spice up your evening. You are free to dance with her if you are feeling rather brave or the alternative is to give money (her tips for the evening). This completed by folding your notes and carefully inserting into a part of her clothing. Have fun. Give the Mediterranean dance a try.
NIGHTLIFE
DISCOS traditionally the Cypriot families tend to congregate on the Friday evening, leaving the Saturdays for the younger members to go out. Ideally you should have a person of the opposite sex with you, when you go into these places.
Mare Monte is a 5.6 mile ( 9 km ) from Girne. It has a quite famous open air discotheque with very large sound system and all the most modern sounds. This club overlooks a beach area.
Cafe34 - Kyrenia Harbour within the harbour: A bar which is popular with locals and the university students. Saturday tend to be by far the bigger night of the two weekend nights. As most Cypriots tend spend Friday nights with the family, for Saturday night to go out.
Another big Club in Kyrenia: This rather impressive club with outside balcony, square bar with two dance floor areas and some rather large speakers that makes for an interesting night of popular, house, rare groove, funk.
