Description

Excerpted from the website: North Cyprus offers the perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life. With over 240 miles of spectacular coastline, North Cyprus enjoys myriad of picturesque coves and beautiful broad bays backed by historic harbours and citrus groves. Whether it’s swimming in crystal-clear turquoise waters, listening to the calming sound of the waves or scuba diving in one of the region’s magnificent dive sites, North Cyprus offers a great choice for those who enjoy the sea and the sun. Indeed it is no surprise that according to legend, Julius Caesar gave the island to Cleopatra as a Tolkien of his love.

The two main beach resorts are Kyrenia and Famagusta. Kyrenia is home to many of the island’s beautiful beaches, as well as being one of the most charming towns in the Mediterranean. Nestled between the sea and the Five-Finger Mountain Range, the resort offers a wondrous combination of hidden coves, sandy beaches and cultural and historical attractions.


The rich history of the island can be traced back over 10,000 years. Like many Mediterranean islands, Cyprus has long been seen as an important strategic base with various civilisations having swept through over the years. Ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Venetians, Ottomans and British all left their mark, making the island a mosaic of different cultures and periods. One can find Roman theatres and villas, Byzantine churches and monasteries, Crusader castles and pre-historic habitats within short drives around the island.
