The Area
Сatalkoy is located 10 minutes outside of Kyrenia town centre, close to the villages of Bellapais and Ozankoy and is known for its affluent residents. The village has a quaint, old-world feel and epitomises the 'Mediterranean village' with its town square and whitewashed buildings.
It's a popular place for tourists and locals alike, as it brings the qualities of a holiday resort into a village atmosphere, Catalkoy is close enough to Kyrenia town centre so that you'll never be far from the action, and yet not too close that you'll never have a peaceful moment.
The location is such that there are stunning views of both the Kyrenia mountain range and also the cobalt Mediterranean Sea. The region is dotted with several beaches and many restaurants, offering everything from local fare to international cuisine. Prominent Catalkoy restaurants include The Grove Inn, which offers a range of European dishes, and Ani Restaurant, which specialise in kebabs and fresh fish.
Catalkoy also plays host to some of the best hotels on the island, the Acapulco beach and resort, The Dedeman Olive Tree and, perhaps most notably the five-star Malpas hotel. The Malpas offers a superb restaurant, an ambient jazz bar and a fitness centre and spa among its many facilities, and is well worth a visit for both tourists and locals. Its location affords stunning views, and makes it the perfect place for a little getaway.
Popular Area Attractions:

Resale & Rental Potential
The close proximity to the Cornaro beach and club as well as all the shops, short drive to the Korineum Golf resort would come in handy when living or holidaying in this property. As it sits in a quiet neighbourhood just a few minutes from the busy Kyrenia center, this also makes for a good getaway when you seek some downtime and much needed family moments. During the holiday season rental potential is an estimated £600 weekly and £500 monthly for long term off peak rental. In the coming years, property prices are expected to escalate as Northern Cyprus becomes a holiday haven.
