Where the hotel is
Kaplica on a Beach is a beach hotel in Kaplıca, a quiet village on the north-eastern coast of Northern Cyprus in the İskele (Trikomo) district, where the island narrows towards the Karpaz peninsula. Kantara Castle, in the hills above the village, is a short drive away. No other hotels stand close by, so the setting is calmer than the resort strip around Long Beach.
Kaplıca is one of the longer transfers from Ercan Airport (ECN), so book your return journey at the same time as your arrival. The departure pickup is then fixed in advance and there is nothing to arrange from the village. For the drive, drinks can be added as an extra when you book.
