North Cyprus — so much more than sun, sea and sand


If you’re looking for a traditional Mediterranean beach holiday with a twist, then North Cyprus should be top of your list


This is the Mediterranean as it used to be; a sleepy land, where you can still discover unspoiled coves and uncrowded sandy beaches. Where you’re sure of a welcome as warm as the weather. North Cyprus enjoys an average of 340 days of sunshine a year, so the summer season stretches right across the year, making it perfect for a springtime sunshine getaway or a winter sun break. If you’re seeking an active holiday,


there’s plenty to keep family members of all ages entertained — thrill-seekers can try parasailing, and adventurers will enjoy exploring by kayak or paddleboard. Little ones, meanwhile, will love the floating inflatables and water slides. Scuba divers of all levels will revel


in the crystal-clear, warm waters — they’ll love discovering an enchanted world of vibrant colours and rich marine life. The waters around North Cyprus are home to varied sea life, including many unusual species of fish. Experienced divers can try a dive safari to uncover reefs, other-worldly rock formations and even a wrecked plane.


North Cyprus is famous for its


fine, golden sand, so pristine that it’s chosen by the rare loggerhead and green turtles to nest here. Choose from cocktails at Kyrenia’s well-groomed beach clubs, or head to the renowned golden sands of Famagusta or the rugged beaches of the Karpaz Peninsula, all lovingly preserved to conserve their unique environment and unspoiled nature. Take a day trip on board a


traditional wooden sailing boat, known as a gulet. Cruise the crystal- clear waters of the Mediterranean and enjoy fun and sunbathing on board as you discover secluded coves and sandy bays while admiring the stunning scenery with its magnificent mountain backdrop. What better way to follow a day’s


sunbathing than with a stroll along Kyrenia’s horseshoe-shaped harbour, overlooked by its impressive castle? Then, round the day off with a delicious meal of freshly caught fish before wandering among the narrow streets of old Famagusta’s ancient walled city. Make this year your time to


discover North Cyprus — the perfect Mediterranean beach destination that offers so much more than sun, sea and sand.
