About Girne Vehicle Market
Kyrenia is the tourism capital of the TRNC and also hosts a dense resident population. A wide range of people, from hotel and restaurant employees on the coast to university students, are looking for vehicles for their transportation needs. For those living in areas like Lapta, Alsancak, Çatalköy, and Esentepe, a personal vehicle is almost a necessity.
SUVs and crossover models suitable for mountain roads are particularly popular in Kyrenia. The sloped roads in the Five Finger Mountains offer routes that are difficult to navigate with flat city cars. Besides this, small-engine economy cars — Daihatsu Mira, Suzuki Alto — are very popular for daily use among those living by the seaside.
Kyrenia's vehicle market gains momentum during the summer months due to the tourism season. During this period, the rental car sector also revives, and the second-hand market becomes active.
