Where the hotel is
Çelebi Garden Hotel is a garden-style hotel in Mehmetçik, a village at the start of the Karpaz (Karpas) peninsula in the İskele district of Northern Cyprus. The setting is rural and relaxed, with village life and the open landscape of the peninsula around you, well away from the busier resort towns. It suits guests who want to explore the Karpaz at an unhurried pace.
The drive from Ercan Airport (ECN) east to the Karpaz peninsula is a long one, so it makes sense to book your return transfer at the same time as your arrival. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and takes you door to door to Çelebi Garden Hotel at a fixed price, and you pay in the vehicle.
