MARE MONTE AND CAMELOT BEACHES

Situated 9 kilometres west of North Cyprus Kyrenia, MARE MONTE is currently under new management after years of being run by a government controlled foundation (Vakif). The 76 bungalows and the hotel are all being refurbished and the beach facilities updated.

Mare Monte beach in North Cyprus is a secluded, picturesque cove set against a backdrop of lush greenery. The walk down the steps to the beach offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean through a variety of trees and plants.

The beach is quiet and perfect for those who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The sun lounges are well dispersed along the beach and there are a number of bamboo umbrellas to protect you from the glare of the sun.

There is a cafe and bar which overlooks the sea and enables you to watch the budding divers as they jump off the rocks. There is also a small island where strong swimmers can often be seen snorkelling. The food is very reasonably priced as this beach is often frequented by locals.

CAMELOT. This facility is a part of the North Cyprus Girne American University's faculty of Tourism and Hospitality (Hotel Management). Having recently undergone a major face lift it has become a chic and modern hotspot. At the entrance there is a restaurant which has breathtaking views of the mountain village of Lapta and the Mediterranean. The a la carte menu offers excellent quality food with outstanding service at low prices.
