2 THERE IS A SECRET ISLAND IN THE HEART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN...

3 A HIDDEN JEWEL IN THE LEVANT WITH GOLDEN BEACHES, PICTURE-POSTCARD VILLAGES AND BRILLIANT WEATHER That is how Northern Cyprus has been described in the UK press, and knowing the country like we do, it is understandable that the hardened hacks of Fleet Street are inspired to such prose. Even in this age of mass-tourism, Northern Cyprus remains virtually undiscovered and gloriously under-populated. Considered to be the most beautiful part of the island, the north receives less than one tenth of the visitors that swarm to the better known Cypriot resorts of Paphos, Limassol and Larnaca. The stunning horseshoe-shaped harbour in Kyrenia (pictured left), is just one of the many unforgettable sights waiting to greet you in this unique holiday destination. The natural geography of Northern Cyprus is such that you can spend the morning by the sea, indulging your tan, enjoy lunch in a mountain-top taverna, taking in the spectacular views and then spend a leisurely afternoon exploring some of the most incredible historical and cultural sites to be found in the whole Mediterranean. Surprisingly, amongst all this serenity and natural beauty, Northern Cyprus has another, more lively side. The bustling resort town of Kyrenia, boasts over 300 restaurants and tavernas, serving a wide range of cuisine from traditional Mediterranean fare to gourmet international dishes. For the more adventurous, there is an excellent choice of activities, such as horse riding, paragliding, gokarting, quad-biking, jeep safaris, archery and a full range of water sports including PADI scuba diving, waterskiing and windsurfing. The wonderful thing is that in Northern Cyprus, these activities blend in with their surroundings rather than overwhelm them. The sheer beauty of the countryside, the natural friendliness of the people and the most pleasing climate in the Mediterranean combine to make Northern Cyprus a truly unique holiday experience, and one that will stay in your memory for many years to come. 3

6 WHY NORTHERN CYPRUS? When to travel Northern Cyprus is blessed with the most pleasing climate in Europe. The winters are mild and rarely extend beyond February. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, the temperature can reach into the 70s as early as March. In April, May and June, Northern Cyprus is at its most beautiful, with fields of wild flowers in full bloom, and the weather not unlike that of a good English summer. July and August are the hottest months and ideal for sun worshippers. September and October are the most popular months, when the weather is still wonderfully warm (rarely below 80 F), but the evenings are fresher and more comfortable Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Average max temp ( F) Average Min Temp ( F)

7 Book online telephone reservations Restaurants and fantastic cuisine There is a wealth of restaurants to choose from in Northern Cyprus, offering everything from simple local fare to gourmet French cuisine. Eating out is not expensive and many restaurants can arrange for you to be picked up from your hotel and dropped back off after your meal, usually without charge. For traditionalists, the cuisine of Northern Cyprus owes its heritage to a mixture of Mediterranean and oriental influences. Local dishes are delicious and prepared from fresh ingredients. Meze is a particular treat a Cypriot speciality consisting of a large number of hot and cold hors d oeuvres, such as different salads, meats and fish dishes. It is served either as an appetiser or as a main course. Grilled haloumi cheese and sigara borek (feta cheese rolled in filo pastry and deep-fried) are two delectable dishes often served in a meze. Other typical dishes of the region include yalanci dolma (vine leaves stuffed with rice, onions and tomatoes); shish kebab (marinated lamb, skewered and grilled over charcoal), kleftiko (leg or shoulder of lamb baked in tomatoes), mousakka (layers of mince, potato and aubergines baked with a cheese topping) and lahmacun (thin Turkish pizza, with minced lamb, salad and spicy peppers wrapped in flat bread). Fish is also particularly good, and is usually served grilled or as a kebab. Choices include sea bream, red snapper and sea bass. Typical desserts are lokum (Turkish delight); halva (extremely sweet slices of ground sesame seeds and sugar) and baklava (made from mille-feuille pastry, nuts, honey and syrup), and finally, the traditional thick Turkish coffee. Waiters will always ask how you want it: Sah-de means no sugar, Ortah means medium sweet, and Shekerli means sweet. Wine-lovers will enjoy trying the local options. The most popular and delicious dry, white wine is known as Chankaya. Kavaklidere is the tastiest and best value of the reds. Enjoy superb value shopping During the summer months, most shops in Northern Cyprus are open Mondays to Saturdays from 8am to 1pm and 3.30pm to 6.30pm. In the winter, they keep the same hours but do not close at lunchtime. For typical souvenirs of Northern Cyprus, shop for embroidery, lacework, sheepskin rugs and handmade basketry. Try to avoid the large pottery and ceramic shops, as prices charged are often exorbitant. Better to hunt around in the smaller gift shops, where prices are much more reasonable. Shopping has an etiquette in Northern Cyprus, especially in the more traditional stores. It can sometimes be more important to accept a cup of tea or Turkish coffee from a shop owner if offered, and stay for a chat, than to actually buy anything. Food, toiletries and general day to day items can be purchased from the larger supermarkets, which can be found in and around the main towns of Kyrenia and Famagusta. The signs Lemar and Tempo indicate two of Cyprus biggest supermarket chains. Make your money go further The currency of Northern Cyprus is the New Turkish Lira (TRY) the exchange rate at the time of going to press was about 3.59 TRY to the pound sterling. Please check rates with your UK bank prior to departure. You can purchase TRY before departing from the UK, but changing sterling at banks and bureaux de change in Northern Cyprus usually produces a slightly better rate. Also, sterling is quite often quoted and accepted as payment in restaurants, shops and hotels. If that is not the case, inform your supplier that you would like to pay in pounds when you ask for your bill. Most establishments will translate your bill into pounds using the exchange rate quoted in that day s newspaper. Change will almost always be given in TRY. Credit cards are gradually becoming more accepted in Northern Cyprus and there are many cash machines in main town centres where Turkish Lira may be obtained. Using a debit or credit card in Northern Cyprus can often attract a hefty commission charge. Check with the retailer or bank before passing over your card. 7
