The Ship Inn is ideally placed within walking distance of a number of local restaurants, where all culinary tastes are catered for. For fish lovers, the ‘Hurdeniz' is renowned for its fresh seafood dishes, while traditional cuisine can be found in ‘The Meyhane’ and ‘The Archway’.  The Indian restaurant ‘Jashan’s’,  ‘The Chinese House’ and ‘Ambiance’ are all equally popular coastal dining options.

Should you wish to do some sightseeing, then look no further than the adjoining village Zeytinlik, one of the oldest in Cyprus . Legend has it that  the Templar Knights lived in this beautiful area during the Middle Ages as it leads to one of the three exits of  the majestic attraction that is St.Hilarion Castle. Perched atop of a rocky crag, and less than a 15 minute drive away, the ruined turrets, towers and windows of St Hilarion Castle boast an incredible vista. It is also rumoured to have been the inspiration for the fairy-tale castles of King Ludwig in Bavaria and Walt Disney’s Snow White, and during springtime, the surrounding terrain is awash with the prettiest exotic and wild flowers.

Located just a five minute drive from the hotel, Kyrenia’s town and harbour is bursting with shops, restaurants, cafes, bars and all the local amenities you could wish for. Kyrenia’s historic harbour is more traditional with its boat rides and museums.

Kyrenia is home to several beautiful beaches depending on personal choice. Kervansaray Beach in Karaoğlanoğlu is one of Kyrenia’s most popular public beaches, located less than a 10-minute drive from the hotel. For those seeking a livelier atmosphere, the larger and trendier Escape Beach is only 15 minutes away, on the road to Alsancak. Here, you can enjoy a wide range of water sports and soak up a vibrant seaside vibe.
