Despite its unique beauty, Northern Cyprus is little known as a travel destination ... and is waiting to be discovered by you!
Kyrenia/Girne
In the north of the island lies the medieval port of Kyrenia, one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean.
The port is framed by the majestic Kyrenia Castle. Breathtaking views await in the village of Bellapais. The architecture and design of Bellapais Abbey are truly impressive. The abbey boasts a striking blend of Gothic and Byzantine styles, with intricate carvings and intricate decorations on its walls.
This region is home to the Beşparmak Mountains (Five Finger Mountains), wonderful hiking trails, and mountain bike routes.

Famagusta/Gazimağusa
The ancient walled city of Famagusta is a must-see for any visitor to the island. It is known for its well-preserved Venetian city walls dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. The inner core itself consists of many winding alleys and arcades – it feels as if time has stood still. Famagusta is also the gateway to the beautiful Karpaz Peninsula and offers the island’s most beautiful beaches along its stunning coastline.
