foothills of the Kyrenia Range. The perpetual charm of this
village  is due to its
closeness to nature. Its wide residential area is engulfed by
acres of olive, carob and lemon trees. The gardens of the village
houses have a wide variety of mature trees and plants, completing
a wonderful picture of Cypriot landscape.

Geography and
Nature
|
|
Ozanköy is within the sphere of influence of Kyrenia town
because of its close proximity. There is no large scale
industrial activity in and around the village; therefore it has
become a purely residential area. Peace and quiet make this
charming village a good place to live; there are no multi-story
buildings and no heavy traffic. A better infrastructure will
improve the conditions of this lovely part of Northern
Cyprus.

Syrup.
