About North Cyprus
North Cyprus is the unhurried side of the Mediterranean — harbour dinners beneath Kyrenia's castle, Roman ruins outside Famagusta's old walls, long sandy bays at Iskele, and the wild Karpaz peninsula where the roads finally empty out. Warm most of the year, easy-going, and still refreshingly undiscovered.
