Esentepe is only 35 minutes driving distance from the ' Ercan Airport' and it can be reached through two main highways. One highway comes from the west and passes through Kyrenia. This road runs parallel to the sea and offers fantastic scenery of the entire East Coast. The surrounding land is concealed with the evergreen shrub, Cyprus Shinia and Oregano giving a fantastic smell to the area. Here you may also find old cisterns, catacombs and track ways of horse carriages.

The second highway emerges from the Nicosia - Famagusta highway and runs through the Five Finger Mountain pass of Alevkayasi. This is a very picturesque route, which passes through a densely forested area, lush green, with trees of all sorts, wild flowers and orchids. Here you can stop and do some "trekking", or else you may find a good spot for a relaxing picnic. There is also a Herbarium in Alevkayasi, Established by the Forestry Department, where you can study the endemic plants of Cyprus and find out more about the botanical history of the island.
