In terms of hotels, restaurants, bars as well as social and entertainment facilities and amenities in Northern Cyprus in general, it’s fair to say that there are two distinct angles that proprietors tend to favour.
On the one hand you have those who go for the affordable quality angle and on the other hand you have those focused on the exclusive, luxurious and sumptuous quality angle - and the Vaha Spa restaurant certainly falls into the latter category!
There are so very many excellent and high quality restaurants in Northern Cyprus that visitors and residents are literally spoilt for choice. The range of styles and tastes is impressive, and there is most certainly a restaurant to suit every palate and every whim.
But some of the best traditional Turkish Cypriot restaurants are tucked slightly away from the main tourist routes and if you’re on a brief visit to the island you might miss them.
As Kyrenia is the most visited town in Northern Cyprus and the most popular with locals and tourists alike it is unsurprising that it has some of the best restaurants in the whole of North Cyprus.
There’s such an abundance of cafes and restaurants offering a wide selection of dining styles, cooking styles and menu options that there really is something for everyone who visits Kyrenia.
Cyprus has been an island invaded and inhabited by many different nations and people throughout its history and as a result Cypriot cuisine owes a great deal to the external influences that have directly affected it.
Unsurprisingly most of the traditional food and drink in North Cyprus nowadays is very similar to mainland Turkish cuisine though more modern European influences are now beginning to become apparent as are Asian influences and you can find traces of tradition from as far away as the Balkans to Northern Africa in the food and drink of Northern Cyprus today.
There are at least as many bars and pubs in Northern Cyprus as there are restaurants meaning that there is a wide choice available to keep everyone happy whatever their own personal pub or bar preference.
From the family friendly pub offering quiz nights and karaoke to sophisticated late night music bars and everything else besides, when it comes to bars and pubs visitors and residents of Northern Cyprus are well catered for.
The amount of restaurants and cafes an individual has to choose from in Northern Cyprus is overwhelming! There are enough choices for you to pick a different restaurant every night of the week for a whole year and even then I don’t think you’d have visited more than half!
The choices available are broad, you can choose from a traditional Cypriot restaurant serving local specialities to an Indian restaurant, a fast food cafe to splendid international cuisine with silver service. Whatever your palate and budget you’re guaranteed choice and excellence.
