The marina is situated on the long, north-east pointing panhandle of the country which is characterised by a unique natural beauty complete with rolling countryside, miles of empty sandy beaches, numerous bays and coves and the famous wild donkeys and turtles. Charming traditional villages, fresh Cypriot cuisine, ancient Byzantine churches and other historic landmarks and cultural sites are waiting to be discovered.

And in just under 300 nautical miles it is possible to reach Rhodes, gateway to the Greek Islands.
