Superyacht Destination Handbook: Karpaz Gate Marina
Specifically designed and created to harbour superyachts and luxury vessels, Karpaz Gate Marina sits on the cape of North Cyprus, and is one of the up and coming yachting destinations in the East Mediterranean. We take a look at what makes this 'Five Gold Anchor' marina a go-to location for yachts touring the Adriatic.
Located next to the Karpaz National Park, Karpaz Gate Marina acts as a welcome point for a lesser travelled slice of the East Mediterranean. The aim of creating the Marina itself was to provide world-class superyacht facilities while both protecting and showcasing the stunning natural cruising grounds of the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus.
Surrounding Destinations
On Northern part of the island alone, guests at Karpaz Gate can indulge in a range of activities; be it exploration, luxurious relaxation or adrenaline fuelled sports.
The natural sights of the shores include the opportunity to see the hatching Loggerhead turtles of Alagadi Turtle Beach, the exotic flora and fauna of Guzelyurt National Park, the challenge of Five Finger Mountain and the serenity of Iskele Long Beach.
Shop and dine in Kyrenia, the idyllic coastal town with over 6,000 years history under Five Finger Mountain, gamble the night away in Bafra Casino, and discover ancient castles, cities and basilicas.
