Karmi, also known as Karaman,is considered one of the most attractive villages in North Cyprus and is one of the most sought after areas in North Cyprus. It is a picture postcard mountain village of traditional whitewashed houses, restored by foreign owners under a special arrangement with the government.
Only traditional materials may be used to maintain the special character and charm of its cobbled streets. It would undoubtedly walk away with any ‘Best Kept Village’ contest.
In the heart of the village, the old Orthodox church has been restored as an icon museum. Concerts are also held here and at Christmas, it is the venue for the European residents’ Carol Concert.
The closest beaches from here are the Karaoglanoglu municipality beach or the famous Escape Beach, also called the 5-mile beach, on the way to Alsancak.
