Where the hotel is
Tucked into the old centre of Girne (Kyrenia), Sofia Boutique Hotel is a boutique hotel on the north coast of Northern Cyprus, with Kyrenia Castle and Kyrenia Harbour each a short walk away. Up in the Kyrenia Mountains, St Hilarion Castle is a short drive from town. The hotel shares its quiet corner of the centre with close neighbours such as Kyrenia Palace Boutique Hotel and Dome Hotel.
A simple tip: book your return to Ercan Airport (ECN) together with your arrival, so both journeys are settled at a fixed price. For the arrival, add your flight number; the flight is tracked and your driver waits with a name sign. You pay in the vehicle, and free cancellation applies if plans change.
