´¡±ô²¹²µ²¹»åı (Turtle) Beach, approximately 19km east of Kyrenia, is where the Society for the Protection of Turtles (SPOT) has its small sea-turtle conservation and research centre (open 9am to 8.30pm May to September), where you can find out about turtle conservation. This is not really used as a swimming beach, but visitors can enjoy the scenery. ´¡±ô²¹²µ²¹»åı's twin sandy beaches are intentionally undeveloped, as they are considered turtle territory, and the beach is closed from 8pm to 8am from May to October.
If you get hungry, family-run St Kathleen’s Restaurant is nearby. The grilled fish and meat dishes, served with a mountain of meze, are excellent and good value.
