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.

Loved for its welcoming Mediterranean hospitality, North Cyprus combines intriguing antiquity and natural beauty with a sunny climate all year round, making it an ideal get away for every season.

Located at the crossroads of three continents, North Cyprus is the furthest East you can venture in the Mediterranean, with Turkey just 40 miles away. Yet, the island’s European influence means that although Turkish is the official language in the North, English is still widely spoken, everybody drives on the left, and British plug sockets remain the norm.

It is an exciting time to visit North Cyprus, as facilities are being developed to add variety to life, yet many of the sandy beaches remain untouched and undiscovered.

The coastline has ancient harbours, where you can dine al fresco and beaches that stretch for miles, while the depts of the crystal clear azure seas offer many of the region’s best dive sites. Indeed, visibility can be as much as 30 – 40 meters under water.

A myriad of cafes, restaurants and bars await exploration in North Cyprus’ beautiful towns, whilst in villages, you will encounter an abundance of old-world charm and welcoming Mediterranean hospitality that will make you want to come back time and time again.
