The hotel and its location
Riverside Garden Resort is a garden resort in Alsancak, on the north coast of Northern Cyprus west of Girne (Kyrenia), set in the stretch between the Kyrenia Mountains and the sea. St Hilarion Castle, high in the mountains above, is a short drive away. Palmonte Suites Hotel lies a few minutes' walk from the resort, while Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Spa and Merit Royal Premium Hotel Casino & Spa are both a short drive along the coast.
The route from Ercan Airport passes near Lefkoşa (Nicosia) and then climbs over the mountain road before dropping down to the north coast. For your return, set the pickup time generously so the drive back over the pass and check-in at Ercan never feel rushed. The private transfer is door to door at a fixed price, paid in the vehicle.
