Summer holidays in Northern Cyprus
A less ordinary life? Summer holidays in Northern Cyprus are like a lullaby before a dream. It is as if the Mediterranean wanted to keep this magnificent island a closely guarded secret, and it has been described in glowing terms by many writers and critics; ‘the hidden jewel in the Mediterranean crown’, ‘the Mediterranean as it used to be’, ‘a corner of heaven on earth’… the list seems endless.
Cradled by the warm blue waters of the Mediterranean, the north coast of the island is protected by the magnificent Kyrenia mountain range. Just inland, the majestic peaks provide protection and shelter, and are home to beautiful villages where time seems to stand still forever. Of these, Bellapais is probably the best known. Home to a truly spectacular abbey, its narrow, winding streets are dotted with excellent places to eat. Bellapais was the home of writer Lawrence Durrell in the 1950s and was the setting for his humorous and tender novel, The Sour Lemons of Cyprus.
Kyrenia itself is located on the north coast and is a wonderful place and an area from which to explore the beauty of the island.

From huge resorts like Acapulco Chipre to small family hotels like Hideaway Chipre, Pia Bella Hotel, and Altinkaya Hotel, the area is a treasure trove of places to stay. Not to mention places to eat, as a holiday in Kyrenia would not be complete without visiting some of the many restaurants and taverns it contains.
Northeast of Cyprus is the Karpas Peninsula. Even more intact than the rest of the island, as seems even possible; here is a place of breathtaking scenic beauty. About 80 kilometers long and up to 20 wide, the area is very sparsely populated. Here, the wild burros that roam the land seem to outnumber the population, and the ones that like it here are scattered in small towns where even the most modern farmers think of a tractor as a novelty and are more likely to plow the land. with horses. – thrown away machinery.
On the east coast, near the beginning of Karpas, lie the remains of the Roman city of Salamis. Almost unbelievable in the sheer scale of the site, much remains to be explored and excavated beneath the soft sands. However, the already visible amount of walkability is impressive. A few kilometers along the coast you reach the town of Famagusta. The magnificent beaches here have long been enjoyed as a holiday resort by both locals and visitors to Northern Cyprus, and the hotels in Famagusta have become well known and loved by many.

Whether you’re visiting Kyrenia, Bellapais, or one of the many other fabled locations, this is a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Take a holiday in Northern Cyprus soon.
