Buffavento Kebab House
Located at the crest of the road from Kyrenia over five finger mountain, just where there is a turnoff to Buffavento castle, this restaurant serves mouthwatering minced meat and spice kebabs with pitta bread and an assortment of delicious local salads. Have a walk towards the castle (it will take over an hour to get all the way there) admire the stunning views and work up an appetite. Not to be missed!
The Courtyard
The Courtyard at Karakum is renowned for its authentic curries and is owned and run by Mo (pictured), who hails from Pakistan. Special curry night on Monday with live entertainment. Also good just to pop into the pub bar for a drink or for breakfast
Harbour restaurants
The harbour is about 15 minutes walk from the villa. It is one of the most picturesque harbours in the Mediterannean. Its former warehouses are now converted into bars and restaurants. The food is generally pricey and not so good as restaurants in town or in the smaller villages, but no holiday is complete without eating at the harbour at least once.
Taners
Taners is a lovely little bar/restaurant located down a side road turning left off the road from Kyrenia out to Karakum. It is signposted - but you have to keep your eyes peeled. It does a fabulous tomato, onion, cheese and bacon sandwich in pitta bread. It is set in a little bay overlooking the sea. Perfect for lunch.
