Bafra: North Cyprus’s dedicated resort coast

Bafra, on the İskele coast between Long Beach and the Karpaz peninsula, was developed as a purpose-built resort zone and is now home to some of the island’s largest all-inclusive hotels. Its wide sandy beaches and calm sea make it a relaxed choice for families, but the resorts sit a little apart from the towns and villages — which is exactly why having your own car pays off.

Why a rental car matters in Bafra

All-inclusive resorts are convenient, but a week without leaving the hotel means missing the character of the east coast. With a car you can reach local restaurants, markets and beaches that the resort shuttles never touch. Sur Car Hire delivers free of charge to Bafra hotels, and because online booking is deposit-free you can arrange everything before you arrive and collect your keys at the resort.

Where to go from Bafra

Bafra is perfectly placed for exploring. Drive north-east into the Karpaz peninsula for the island’s most beautiful unspoilt beaches, or south toward Famagusta for history and old-town charm. The Long Beach strip and İskele town are a short hop for a change of scene, and the whole east coast is easy to string together into day trips when you have your own wheels.

Practical driving notes

North Cyprus drives on the left, and signs are in Turkish and English. The roads to and from Bafra are modern and easy, though it is always worth filling up with fuel before longer trips toward the Karpaz, where stations are fewer. The minimum age to rent with us is 25, and TRNC-registered cars cannot cross to the south of the island.

Booking a car for your Bafra stay

Reserve online in a few minutes with no deposit, choose automatic or manual, and we will deliver the car to your Bafra resort — and collect it again at the end of your stay. As a Boğaz-based company we cover the whole İskele region, so wherever you are staying on this coast, your car can be waiting for you.
