General
Glaro Gardens is a family-run accommodation in the heart of Dipkarpaz, where you are perfectly situated to enjoy a glimpse of traditional Cypriot village life, to explore the Karpaz countryside and to relax on nearby sandy beaches. Glaro Gardens offers an indoor dining and lounge area where in winter you can sit and enjoy some home-made food, read a book by the fire, or watch a bit of television in-between exploring the Karpaz area. 

For the summer months there is an outdoor dining area under a veranda that looks out onto the beautifully kept gardens. This is the perfect place to enjoy a cold drink when you want a break from the sun. 

There are 5 separate stone-built bungalows housing six rooms (two of the rooms have an adjoining door making them suitable for families with young children). The bungalows are built in a traditional style in-keeping with the village heritage, and look onto the beautifully kept gardens of the guesthouse.

In addition to the five bungalows, there is the main building which houses the reception area, an inside and outside dining area, a small inside lounge area next to a fire place, and the guest house kitchens. The inside dining and lounge area are decorated with a variety of traditional Cypriot handicrafts including hand-made pottery and baskets. The outside dining area is situated on a veranda which overlooks the gardens and bungalows, and is the perfect place to enjoy a home-made Village breakfast before heading out for the day round the Karpaz.

Eating & Drinking

The family who own and run the Glaro Gardens Guesthouse have their own organic vegetable garden which provides them and their visiting guests with some delicious vegetables, including tomatoes and cucumbers. The family also have a herd of sheep out in the fields surrounding Dipkarpaz and they go to milk them every day so that they can make fresh hellim cheese. Guests are always welcome to join the family when they are heading out to milk the sheep, which is a really unique experience that gives a wonderful insight into life in the Karpaz.
