# North Cyprus Trip Budget 2026: Real Per-Day Costs > What a North Cyprus holiday costs in 2026 — per-day budgets for two at three spending levels, with 7-day totals, every line sourced from real price data. - Canonical: https://www.kiprarent.com/en/guide/north-cyprus-trip-budget/ - Updated: 2026-06-13 - Language: English - Publisher: Kipra Rent A Car — https://www.kiprarent.com/ --- A 2026 day in North Cyprus for two people costs about **5,800 TL (~€109)** on an economy budget, **10,100–11,600 TL (~€190–218)** mid-range and **16,100–28,600 TL (~€303–538)** at resort-comfort level — hotel, food and fuel, before the rental car. Every line in this budget comes from this hub's own price guides, each with its own dataset and date stamps; this page adds them up, and links you to the detail instead of repeating it. ## How much does a day in North Cyprus cost for two? For two people sharing, a summer 2026 day costs roughly **5,800 TL** economy, **10,100–11,600 TL** mid-range and **16,100–28,600 TL** at resort level, excluding the car. One number per line — the detail lives on each line's own page: | Per day, 2 people (2026) | Economy | Mid-range | Resort comfort | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Hotel | **3,838 TL** | **6,332–7,849 TL** | **14,818–26,325 TL** | | Food | **~1,760 TL** | **~3,500 TL** | **~1,000–2,000 TL** (board covers most meals) | | Fuel (~50–70 km/day) | **~208 TL** | **~290 TL** | **~290 TL** | | Day total (excl. car) | **~5,800 TL (~€109)** | **~10,100–11,600 TL (~€190–218)** | **~16,100–28,600 TL (~€303–538)** | Where each line comes from: - **Hotel** — summer "from" floor prices: city three-star for economy, Long Beach apart-resort to mid-range beach hotel for the middle, casino-resort floors for comfort. Bands, seasons and the methodology: [hotel prices guide](/en/guide/hotel-prices-north-cyprus/). - **Food** — economy assumes a market breakfast plus takeaway lunch and a budget kebab dinner; mid-range eats out three times. Price bands per meal tier: [restaurant prices guide](/en/guide/restaurant-prices-north-cyprus/); the self-catering side: [grocery prices guide](/en/guide/grocery-prices-north-cyprus/). A meyhane night for two runs **~3,000–3,800 TL** on top — worth one evening of any budget. - **Fuel** — calculated at the March 2026 decree price of **61.12 TL/litre**; full-tank and per-route math: [fuel prices guide](/en/guide/fuel-prices-north-cyprus/). - **Drinks** — supermarket beer versus bar rounds moves this line more than anything else; see the [alcohol prices guide](/en/guide/alcohol-prices-north-cyprus/). Lira converts at the KKTC Central Bank rate of 12 June 2026 (~53.2 TL/EUR, ~61.7 TL/GBP). The machine-readable version of this budget is published at [/data/guides/north-cyprus-trip-budget.csv](/data/guides/north-cyprus-trip-budget.csv). ## What do 3 days and 7 days total? A 7-day economy trip for two totals about **40,600 TL (~€763 / £658)** before the car; mid-range lands at **71,000–81,000 TL (~€1,334–1,523)** and resort comfort at **113,000–200,000 TL (~€2,124–3,759)**, at June 2026 prices and rates: | Duration (2 people, excl. car) | Economy | Mid-range | Resort comfort | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 3 days | **~17,400 TL** (~€327) | **~30,300–34,800 TL** (~€570–654) | **~48,300–85,800 TL** (~€908–1,613) | | 7 days | **~40,600 TL** (~€763) | **~71,000–81,000 TL** (~€1,334–1,523) | **~113,000–200,000 TL** (~€2,124–3,759) | These are summer-floor numbers — the hotel line uses summer from-prices, so a November trip prices below the table, and a peak August week above it. Flights are excluded throughout; so is the car, which gets its own section because it does not have a fixed price to print. What those seven days actually contain — the [day-by-day plan for a week in North Cyprus](/en/guide/one-week-north-cyprus-itinerary/) from one east-coast base — is its own page; this one only prices it. ## How do you add the car line? The car line is **N rental days at the live kiprarent.com price** — daily rates move with season and availability, so the honest budget opens [the booking page](https://app.kiprarent.com/en/book/cars), picks the actual dates, and adds that number to the totals above. Kipra Rent A Car is a Famagusta-based local company with VAT and third-party insurance already in every displayed price, no deposit and no mileage limit — the number on the booking screen is the number that enters this budget, with nothing to add on top. Two optional extras are fixed and quotable, as of 2026: the **€39/way** Ercan Airport meet and transfer and the **€85/way** Larnaca Airport meet and transfer — details on the [Ercan](/en/ercan-airport-car-rental/) and [Larnaca](/en/larnaca-airport-car-rental/) pages. If you are weighing a south-side pickup against renting in the north, the border insurance math is its own story — [the real-cost comparison](/en/blog/south-vs-north-cyprus-rental-real-cost/) runs it line by line. ## What is not in these tables? Five things sit outside the per-day tables, deliberately: flights, the car, connectivity, activities and any south-side day. Flights route via Türkiye — there are no direct international flights to Ercan — and the connection mechanics are in the [flights via Istanbul guide](/en/guide/flying-to-north-cyprus-via-istanbul/). The car is priced live, per the section above. A local SIM or eSIM package is a small but real line — [the SIM and roaming guide](/en/guide/sim-esim-roaming-north-cyprus/) has 2026 package prices. Activities here are mostly cheap or free (beaches, the walled city, Karpaz), so they move the budget less than the food column does. And how to actually carry the money — card-first, some lira cash, never accept the terminal's home-currency offer — is the [currency and cards guide's](/en/guide/currency-cash-cards-north-cyprus/) whole subject. ## Where does saving actually work? The real savings in a North Cyprus budget are self-catering, the winter calendar and supermarket drinks — and the most tempting cut, skipping the car, is usually the false one. Honestly, line by line: - **Self-catering works.** The economy food line already assumes a market breakfast; an apart-hotel kitchen and a proper [grocery shop](/en/guide/grocery-prices-north-cyprus/) can pull the food line well under the eating-out version for a family week. - **Winter works.** Resort floors drop hardest off-season — the detail is in the [hotel prices guide](/en/guide/hotel-prices-north-cyprus/) — though some Bafra resorts close entirely outside April–October. - **Supermarket drinks work.** A market beer versus a bar round is the widest percentage gap in the whole budget; see the [alcohol prices guide](/en/guide/alcohol-prices-north-cyprus/). - **Skipping the car mostly does not.** Distances are real and there is no Uber; a single taxi'd airport round trip plus a couple of beach runs can pass a day of rental — [taxi fares](/en/guide/taxi-fares-north-cyprus/) has the tariff and [rental vs taxi](/en/guide/rental-car-vs-taxi-north-cyprus/) runs the scenarios. The honest exception: if you book one resort and genuinely never leave it, you do not need a car — that is a different holiday, not a cheaper version of this one.

Cheap against the EU, not against Türkiye. **Should I budget in cash or card?** Mostly card: POS and contactless are standard in towns and tourist areas as of 2026. Keep some lira cash for minibuses, market stalls, tips and village stops, and always choose to pay in TRY when a terminal offers your home currency. **What does this budget not include?** Flights, the rental car (priced live for your dates), SIM or roaming, one-off activities and any south-side day spending. The per-day tables cover accommodation, food and fuel only — the fixed airport transfer fees are listed separately. ## Sources - KKTC Central Bank — daily exchange rates (12 June 2026): https://www.kktcmerkezbankasi.org/ - Kipra — Ercan Airport meet & transfer (published fee): https://www.kiprarent.com/en/ercan-airport-car-rental/ - Kipra — Larnaca Airport meet & transfer (published fee): https://www.kiprarent.com/en/larnaca-airport-car-rental/ --- Kipra Rent A Car — Famagusta, North Cyprus.
