Karting in North Cyprus
Want to spice up the serene atmosphere of the island with some thrill, tire screeches, and an intoxicating sense of competition? There's an excellent way to achieve all of that - go karting.
In Northern Cyprus, there are three go kart tracks - two near Nicosia and one near Famagusta.
Go Kart Tracks in Northern Cyprus
Zet Karting
Located east of Nicosia, it takes no more than half an hour from the city center. It has a good medium-sized track, with a length of 1200 meters. There is a covered children's playground on the premises, so you can visit the go kart center with children of any age. You can grab a bite to eat at the café-diner.

Cemsa Karting
Located very close to the capital, near the start of the track in Kyrenia. The track is good, the longest on the island (1650 meters), but after rain, there may be some puddles in certain areas. Another downside is the lack of centralized timing. Otherwise, it's an excellent affordable track with additional amenities such as billiards, arcade games, and drift taxis (where you sit in the passenger seat while a professional driver drifts). Food and drinks are also available, but be prepared for queues on weekends.

Max Power Go Kart
A decent track between Famagusta and Yeni Boğaziçi. The karts are not brand new but in good condition, and there are smaller models available for children. The protective helmets are disinfected before each ride. On the complex premises, there are entertainment options such as arcade games for the whole family, so you can come here not only for go karting. Of course, there is a café as well.
