Where the hotel is
Hotel Sempati is a hotel in Lapta (Lapithos), on the north coast of Northern Cyprus, west of Girne (Kyrenia). The area sits between the Beşparmak (Kyrenia) Mountains and the sea and has a relaxed, residential feel. Lapida Garden Hotel is a few minutes' walk away, while La Hotel & Resort and Le Chateau Lambousa Hotel are a short drive.
Ercan Airport lies inland, east of Lefkoşa (Nicosia), and the route to Lapta crosses the mountain range on a winding road. When you book your return from Hotel Sempati, choose a pick-up time that leaves a generous margin before check-in rather than cutting it fine. The price is fixed in advance, so the extra margin costs you nothing.
