The Region

Like most of the areas of North Eastern Cyprus Iskele is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The region offers some of the finest beaches in the whole of Cyprus and indeed some judge that the golden beaches of the Karpaz peninsular are amongst the finest in Europe if not the world. The clean clear waters that wash against the golden sandy beaches attract endangered species of green sea turtles that return every year to nest, so conservation and protection of the environment is of a high priority in this region. In addition there is an amazing diversification of wild life and migratory birds making your time spent here a truly unique experience. It is a peaceful and quiet place where one can bond with nature, imagine spending the whole day on a wonderful sandy beach swimming in crystal clear waters and even camping overnight to see the sea turtles come ashore and lay their eggs. And it is highly likely that you will not see another person for the whole time! Imagine that you are living within an easy 20-30 minute drive away from such a place? It is hard to resist once you have visited this area so come and see for yourself

The Village

The village of Yarkoy comes under the administration of the nearby larger village of Iskele. The village is very small with a collection of houses and farms. The centre has a mini market and the usual church and mosque but the nearby village of Iskele and the larger supermarket is only 2 miles away and open until 10pm. The picturesque harbour at Bogaz is only a mile and a half away so easily within walking distance. The area around Yarkoy, including Bogaztepe, Iskele and Bogaz contains a mixture of local Cypriots, British born Cypriots and expatriates. The village is on the main route through from the coast road to Kantara Castle and close to the new road that will reduce the driving time to Kyrenia considerably. Just a 35 minute drive to Ercan airport and only 25 minutes from Famagusta. Close by is Iskele beach, a long stretch of sandy beach within a 5 minute drive. Bogaz Harbour is less than ten minutes away and then you have the whole of the Karpaz peninsula to explore, pretty much at your doorstep. There are a number of good restaurants in the area including those at Bogaz Harbour.
