Where the hotel is
Blue Sea Hotel is a hotel on the Karpaz (Karpas) peninsula in the İskele district of Northern Cyprus, set in a quiet, green corner far from the island's busier centres. The slow pace of the peninsula suits travellers who want a calm stay rather than a lively resort. Paradise Karpaz Hotel & Restaurant is a few minutes' walk away, and Burhans Hotel is also within a short walk, so there are a few places to stay and eat close together.
For the long drive from Ercan Airport (ECN) out to the Karpaz, you can add drinks as an extra when you book. Your private transfer runs door to door at a fixed price agreed in advance, and you pay in the vehicle when you reach Blue Sea Hotel.
