Lapta lies 9 miles to the West of Kyrenia. It expands from the coast up to the Kyrenia Mountain –range, which runs two km inland parallel to the coast. Our beautiful 'Old Monastery' is halfway up in the middle, providing breathtaking views of sea & mountains. In Antiquity there was the kingdom of Lambousa and a centre of pottery. In the middle ages it was a bishop’s see and a centre of silkworm breeding (the old mulberry trees still stand along the village-roads). Today there are 4 mosques and 4 churches, schools, shops and extensive lemon & olive groves. Thanks to a 7-headed mountain well, the region remains green throughout the year and offers magnificent spring blossom. Guided tours to discover 41 species of orchid and wild anemones are available in springtime.
