Trip Name: Beach Hopper basic Trip No Trip Duration: Activity: Accommodation : Recommended time: 8 days Self drive 7 nights in 2-3 star hotels Daily - all year around Overview of this holiday Are you a beach lover looking for a Mediterranean beach holiday with a bit of a difference? Then North Cyprus is the place for you! The north of the island doesn t just have one or two good beaches in one location, but loads of GREAT beaches dotted all along the coast from east to west. Many visitors to the island think they ve done very well when they find Kervansaray, Escape and Denizkizi Beaches on the west side of Kyrenia (Girne), and although these are all very good, clean and popular beaches, there are many beaches that are even better, as well as others that are just absolutely stunning. Being a relatively small island with no traffic outside of Kyrenia and Nicosia means all of these beautiful beaches can be reached within a couple of hours drive along scenic coastal and mountain roads. 1 P a g e

3 Detailed Itinerary Day 1 - Arrive in North Cyprus, settle in the hotel Arrive Cyprus, transfer to the hotel near Kyrenia (Girne). Day 2 - Beach day Visit the beaches of Kervansaray, Escape or Denizkizi Hit the beach at your hotel or if you feel like checking out some other nearby and locally popular beaches hop on a local bus (dolmus) for 5-10 minutes to visit Kervansaray Beach, Escape Beach or Denizkizi Beach. All of these beaches have excellent facilities (sun-lounges, parasols, beach cafes, toilets and showers) but require a small fee for use (5 to 20 Turkish Lira). Day 3 - Explore St. Hilarion Castle and Kyrenia / Beach Day Your hire car will arrive first thing in the morning so you can choose to have a morning out exploring before enjoying another relaxing afternoon on the beach. In the morning we recommend our guests to visit the crusader castle of St. Hilarion first before it gets too hot (as there are stairs to climb!) and then continue on to Kyrenia. In Kyrenia you can wander through the old town or visit the castle and shipwreck museum before sitting down for leisurely lunch or a cold drink in the harbour. Day 4 - Driving to Karpaz via the beaches of Alagadi, Kaplica Head to the Karpaz via the beach! In the morning you will check-out from the hotel and drive east along the coastal roads to the Karpaz and arrive at the hotel in Karpaz. We would recommend our guests to leave the hotel around 10:00 and drive east along the coast to either Alagadi Beach (approx. 40 minute drive) or Kaplica Beach (approx. 1 hour and 15 minute drive). Both Alagadi and Kaplica are beautiful beaches with good facilities (toilets, showers, beach-front restaurant/bar) where you can easily enjoy a few hours relaxing and eating lunch by the sea before heading up to the tip of the Karpaz. We would recommend leaving these beaches no later than 16:00 so that you may complete the journey (approx. 1 and a half to 2 hours drive) before it gets too dark to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Karpaz. Day 5 - Beach day in Karpaz enjoy the most beautiful beaches in the island Beach Day. Anywhere you would settle in Karpaz, you would be by the sea or maximum ride to the beach. If you end up at Golden beach, you would almost roll out of bed and onto what is arguably the most beautiful beach on the island. As well as completely relaxing, the only other thing we would recommend to do at Golden Beach is to wander down to the southern end and head up and over the last sand dune where you can then look over another beautiful, and likely to be completely deserted, hidden beach. 3 P a g e

4 Day 6 - Driving from Karpaz to Bogaz to Long Beach in Famagusta Morning on the beach then a drive towards Famagusta. Golden Sands Beach is so beautiful that we recommend spending the morning relaxing on the beach before driving towards Famagusta. For lunch we recommend driving about an hour and 15 minutes south for a late lunch at the harbour at Bogaz. There are several good restaurants here which look out over the harbour and they usually also serve some delicious fresh fish. From Bogaz it s about another minutes drive to the Long Beach Resort where you will spend the last two nights of your holiday. Day 7 - Beach Day. Drop your hire car keys at the hotel reception first thing in the morning and then spend the rest of the day relaxing on Long Beach. Day 8 - Transfer to airport. Depart Cyprus.

5 Getting there By car and ferry By air Driving routes can be accessed via the following website: You drive to the south of Turkey and take a ferry from Mersin to Kyrenia. The nearest International airport is Ercan (flying via Turkey). Alternatively you can fly directly to Larnaca, but the transfer cost to your hotel becomes more expensive if you fly via the south airport(s). We recommend that you arrange your transfer prior to your departure. Vivid Cyprus is able to organize flights and airport transfers for you. They are in addition to this package. Dietary requirements If you let us know in advance about your dietary requirements, we can advise the hotel(s) where you are staying. However we are unable to guarantee a peanut free or allergen free trip, and therefore, we strongly encourage that travellers with life-threatening or severe allergies take all necessary medical precautions to prepare for the possibility of exposure. Accommodation 2-3 star hotel on 7 nights (bed and breakfast basis, based on two people sharing). Solo travellers are welcome. There is a surcharge for a single room. Climate Cyprus enjoys an intense Mediterranean climate with 320 days of sunshine a year. Summers are hot and dry and last from June to September. Winters are changeable with cold and warmer weather alternating. Autumn in October/November and spring in April/May are short and the transition between winter and summer is rapid. Rain falls mainly in winter and outside these months precipitation is rare therefore flora is much richer in flowers and lush looking in March/April than in September/October but sea temperature is warmer in autumn. Average summer temperatures in the coast are between degrees C. 5 P a g e
