Why Visit North Cyprus
Since its separation in the seventies from the southern, Greek-identifying division of Cyprus, North Cyprus has managed to keep its miraculous beauty and heritage intact. A rare Mediterranean gem of empty, unspoilt beaches, sleepy villages and archaeological ruins, North Cyprus presents modern-day tourists with a tantalisingly different destination full to the brim with natural wonders and old-world charm.
