Where the hotel is
Thalassa Beach Resort is, as the name suggests, a beach resort, set in the Bafra (Vokolida) hotel zone on the east coast of Northern Cyprus. The area belongs to the İskele (Trikomo) district and lies on the coast road towards the Karpaz peninsula, with Long Beach and Gazimağusa (Famagusta) a short drive away. The nearest neighbouring hotel, Concorde Luxury Resort & Casino, is also a short drive.
When you book your arrival from Ercan Airport, reserve the return transfer at the same time. Your car and driver are then set for departure day, and you won't need to sort out transport on your last morning. If plans change, cancellation is free; the price is fixed and paid in the vehicle.
