Warm days in March and April when the spring flowers are in abundance and the mountains are bedecked with all the colours of the spectrum is a spectacular time of year for botanists and walkers. In May the days become longer and the flowers start to fade as June approaches and the sea becomes warm enough for swimming. Holidays in North Cyprus in July is for the truly serious sun-seeker and in August the temptation is just to lie by the pool getting an all-over tan and taking plenty of long cool drinks.

Another good reason for making North Cyprus the holiday destination of choice is its relative lack of commercialisation. Yes, you can find North Cyprus hotels, holiday accommodations, restaurants and beach clubs offering world-class standard of service. It is never hard to find luxury or boutique hotels in North Cyprus. Yet, there are many areas that appear to remain untouched by the 20th century and certainly seem unaware that the world is now already well into the 21st, where it is still possible to see shepherds with flocks of sheep and goats grazing among the scrub lands, or lazily wandering over harvested fields in search of any scrap that has been left behind making it a scene that seems ageless. Of course there has been development over the last decade, most of it taking place along the northern coastline east and west of Kyrenia (Girne) as many mainland Europeans have chosen to make the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus the place of their retirement.

Yet another reason for holiday to North Cyprus is that Cypriots on the whole are a very welcoming people, and their generosity towards newcomers is legendary. It is never long before a first time visitor is made to feel part of the family whether staying in a hotel, holiday village or in a private villa in town or country. Stop at a picnic site on a family day out and soon an invitation from the nearest group will be issued to come and share what they have. Before long their guests will know all about them, their children etc. and undoubtedly they will know all about their guests!

So, with the sun, sand, sea, beautiful countryside and the friendliness of the people what more could anyone require? Well, there is also a wealth of history covering a span of approximately ten thousand years. Throughout the great ages of man’s development there are artefacts on Cyprus to tell the story. Every civilisation that has ruled the countries of the Mediterranean has added its own piece of history to the island and it all lies waiting to be explored.
