Catalkoy Beach | Kyrenia

If you fancy quieter and less developed beaches, go east of Kyrenia. With one notable exception, these are better loved by seekers of solitude. The first worth a mention is Çatalköy Beach, 7km from Kyrenia. It is reached via a signposted road off the main road. Look for Seamus O’Flynn’s pub, turn here and continue for 1.5km; turn right at the junction. The beach is a narrow smile of sand in a pretty little protected bay. There are beach loungers to rent and a diving platform.
