North Cyprus Guide

Discover the magic of North Cyprus holidays with Turika

Often referred as the "The Mediterranean's best kept secret", Northern Cyprus is the ideal holiday destination for families, couples,  the old and the young  -  in fact anyone looking for sunshine, beautiful scenery, magical historical sites, entertainment and activities, excellent shopping, a sparkling blue sea, warm and friendly people and delicious cuisine - there truly is something  for everyone here!

With the beautiful, crystal-clear turquoise Mediterranean and with around 300 days of guaranteed sunshine a year, North Cyprus proudly boasts that is a true "year round" destination with distinct seasons - a long beautiful and colourful spring, four months of guaranteed hot summer sun from June to October, an autumn of perfect, temperate weather and a short winter offering sunshine by day but with cool nights. With miles and miles of unspoilt beaches along the Karpaz Peninsula, the busy main harbour town of Kyrenia, historical Famagusta, The old city of Nicosia with its shops and bazaars and the garden city of Guzelyurt, there is plenty to see. For the active, there is plenty to do as well, though relaxation is easy here.

The island has a traditional culture, kept alive by a proud and friendly race of people who are widely considered as some of the kindest and most hospitable in the world. The food is delicious, appetising and healthy, with local, family-run restaurants found in villages as well as towns. International cuisine is also available with many Italian, Indian, Chinese and French restaurants as well as fast food and takeaways. Local markets offer everything from seasonal fruit, vegetables, nuts, cheese, breads, cakes to craft work and clothes and are held every day in a different town, a tradition that has never died from the days when the peasant farmer was encouraged to sell his own produce locally.

 

North Cyprus holiday resorts

The two main areas for holiday accommodation are Kyrenia and Famagusta. Although there are many properties in the town iteslf, in terms of places to stay, the Kyrenia region covers not only many small, nearby villages, but extends along the coast in both directions. On the eastern shores of Cyprus, the Famagusta region extends north along some magnificent beaches and into the wonderful Karpaz Peninsula.
