North Cyprus
The island of Cyprus is located in the Eastern Mediterranean. Its nearest neighbour is Turkey, some 40 nautical miles north. Scarcely 100 miles long and 40 miles wide, the geography of North Cyprus is characterized by a unique blend of mountains, plains and beaches.
To the east of the island the mountain range loses height as it extends along the narrow peninsula known as Karpas or "The Panhandle". Along it one finds the best beaches in Cyprus. Miles of empty bays with pure white sand.
The resort town of Kyrenia is on the northern coast, and the second resort town of Famagusta in the east.
Quite apart from the huge range of cultivated flowers, North Cyprus and especially the Karpas peninsula is a rich botanical area with literally hundreds of species of wild flowers from crown anemones and pink rock roses, to purple iris and yellow crowfoot. From February to June many areas of North Cyprus are carpeted with colourful wild flowers. The birds and the butterflies also are glorious, lizards abound, and the loggerhead and green turtle still come ashore to lay their eggs on North Cyprus's unspoiled beaches.
The climate of North Cyprus is typically Mediterranean. Summers (June to September) are hot and dry; winters (November to March) are moderately rainy, with a mild temperature. Spring and autumn are warm and pleasant.
The average annual temperature is 20°C (68F). Summer temperatures average 30°C (90F) with the coldest months of January and February 10°C (50F).

As Northern Cyprus remains unrecognized by most of the international community, there are no direct flights from Europe. However, some charter companies avoid this problem by touching down in Turkey before proceeding to Ercan, the airport located a few miles to the east of Nicosia. In addition, there are regular flights by Cyprus Turkish Airlines and Turkish Airlines between Ercan and all the major airports in Turkey, which are linked by the international carriers to most destinations in Europe.
There are also regular car-ferry services between Famagusta and Mersin (Turkey), and Kyrenia and Tasucu (Turkey). It is possible to drive from London to Cyprus in four days, or travel with one of the several bus services which operate between England and North Cyprus, but this can be an exhausting and sometimes harrowing way to start a holiday.
