Merit Royal Diamond is in Alsancak, outside central Kyrenia. Royal, Royal Premium and Crystal Cove are separate hotels. Match your booking to the confirmed venue on your series page. If the venue is unconfirmed, the stays below are regional options and do not establish an onsite tournament hotel.
Check official flight options, then confirm the transfer from your chosen airport with your booked hotel before committing to the journey. Give the full property name and arrival details; a booking or pickup for a different Merit hotel is not interchangeable.
Bellapais village and its abbey sit in the hills south of Kyrenia. The abbey offers historic architecture and views across the coast. Save it for a longer gap in your plan, with transport back to your hotel or confirmed tournament venue arranged in advance.
