Yesiltepe
Northern Cyprus

Yesiltepe is a small Cypriot village situated between Alsancak and Karaoglanoglu.  It sits on the lower slopes of the mountain range and slightly higher is the village called Ilgaz.

Yesiltepe translated means ‘green hill’. 
 
Yesiltepe has a huge ravine that runs up alongside the road and leads all the way up to the charming village of Ilgaz.  These two villages have wonderful sea and mountain views.  For the holidaymaker looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern everyday life then either village could be their retreat.

Yesiltepe is not far from the coastal road that leads to Lapta and Karsiyaka and so not far from restaurants bars and hotels, yet both the village of Yesiltepe and Ilgaz could feel as though they are a hundred miles away.  This makes them conveniently placed to several sandy beaches should you wish to dip your toes in the warm, calm Mediterranean Sea.

To find Yesiltepe, you will need to drive west from Girne-Kyrenia to the Alsancak district. Well sign posted you will see the turn off for Yesiltepe and Ilgaz from the main road. You will be turning onto a long road that would lead you right up into the mountains.  From this road you will arrive at the beautiful and scenic area called Yesiltepe, should you continue on this road you would eventually arrive at the village of Ilgaz.
