Five stars and deserving of every single bit of adulation it gets, The Arkin Colony is one of the best hotels in North Cyprus. The hotel is opulent in a very local sort of way, with stylistic hints at Kyrenia’s long and storied history dotted throughout its 94 rooms and suites. The courtyard is dreamy as anything, and the casino is one of the better ones in the centre of town. If shouting at dice isn’t your thing, the spa should take care of all your worries and strife.
