Ozankoy



















Tigger says. Can I sit under the tree of Idleness?








The poets village’ named in honour of a famed Turkish Cypriot poet who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. A popular village with Europeans and Cypriots alike.
Situated just 3 miles East of Kyrenia, Ozankoy is one of the prettiest villages in Northern Cyprus and is home to a small but truly multi-national population!The residents of the village, which was previously called Kazaphani, have been drawn by the attraction of the peace and tranquility of Ozankoy’s setting, the beautiful and preserved natural environment around the village and the friendly welcoming nature of the local Turkish Cypriot people.The village itself is interwoven with olive, carob and lemon trees, for which the area around Ozankoy is famous, and any new development in and around the village is required to respect the natural surroundings and build not only sympathetically but also carefully so as not to disturb the ancient trees and the natural habitat of the many flora and fauna species.

Ozankoy is a lovely little village near Kyrenia. We rented a beautiful 4 bedroom villa there - http://www.kemani.co.uk/index.html
