Having been open for a couple of years now, there is still always time to be impressed by the Korineum Golf & Country Club in Esentepe, located to the east of Kyrenia. Its location is pretty spectacular too, tucked away in the foothills of the Beşparmak mountain range, with a vast golf course at 6,232 metres.
