Both my girlfriend and I work long, unsociable hours so we were looking for a week away in the sun to get away from the incoming British winter without breaking the bank, which is exactly what we found.
We started by the standard Google search and browsed a couple of sites, stumbling upon this apartment in Alsancak. The booking process and communication was fantastically easy.
After landing in Ercan, a short taxi ride later we arrived at the apartment, conveniently located near to a supermarket and a magnificent Kebab and Pizza place (try their delicious chicken wrap).
The accommodation is perfectly suited to a family or group of friends as we had a choice of 3 bedrooms to sleep in, all of which are a fantastic size. We slept in the main bedroom that benefits from a very comfy king-sized bed and good-sized en-suit with toilet, sink and shower. Most mornings were spent drinking a cup of tea on the balcony over looking the pool, or on the roof terrace taking in the breath-taking views of the hills and surrounding scenery.
The large kitchen was a joy to cook in (albeit once as we discovered dozens of amazing restaurants and bars only minutes from the apartment), as all the appliances were easy to use and most importantly, clean! The fridge-freezer is the perfect size for plenty of food, drink and ice.
Although we didn’t use the pool, the water was clean and looked very inviting. We also didn’t use the air-conditioning, which is available throughout the apartment.
We’ll definitely be staying again!
