Karmi

(also known as Karaman) Nestled on the lower slopes of the Kyrenia Mountains, Karmi, officially known today as Karaman, is one of Northern Cyprus’ most beautifully preserved traditional villages. Famous for its stone houses, winding lanes and peaceful atmosphere, Karmi offers visitors a glimpse into the island’s rich architectural heritage while enjoying views towards the Mediterranean coastline. Unlike the lively waterfront of nearby Kyrenia, Karmi is defined by its tranquillity. Narrow streets lined with colourful flowers, restored village houses and quiet courtyards create an atmosphere that encourages visitors to slow down and explore on foot. Karmi is also well known for its boutique restaurants, cafés and charming accommodation, making it an ideal destination for a leisurely lunch, a romantic dinner or a relaxing overnight stay. Although Karmi feels secluded, it is only a short drive from Kyrenia, Karaoglanoglu, Alsancak and Edremit. Visitors often combine a trip to the village with nearby coastal areas. Taksi Mehmet provides 24/7 VIP taxi and private transfer services from Karmi to Ercan Airport, Kyrenia, Alsancak, Karaoglanoglu and all destinations across Northern Cyprus. While exploring the area, you can also easily reach Kyrenia, Karaoglanoglu, Alsancak and Edremit.
