AN UNSPOILT ISLAND, CYPRUS

Standing at the crossroads of three continents Cyprus has a vibrant history, a perfect climate and the warmest welcome in the Mediterranean. It is offering the perfect combination of relaxation, water sports and exciting exploration along its beautiful coastline, for Northern Cyprus too, has its share of rich archeological sites and medieval castles. It enjoys over 300 days of uninterrupted sunshine, clear blue unpolluted seas, the beauty of an unspoiled landscape and uncrowded beaches.

Add to this the friendliness and hospitality of the people, wonderfully varied cuisine and you have the perfect recipe for a truly idyllic holiday. Whether you are a lover of nature, an archaeologist, a keen walker, a water sportsman or simply a sun-worshipper this little island is the ideal spot for you.

Along the northern coast stretch the pine-clad Kyrenia Mountains sloping gently to the warm and tranquil waters of the Mediterranean.

There are many good restaurants in the area, and picturesque Kyrenia harbour is the place to be in the evening. Famagusta in the east is famed for its endless sandy beaches and crytal-clear waters.

It will come as no surprise that according to legend this island was given to Cleopatra by Julius Ceasar as a token of his love!

what interesting that museum of dervishes is! would be great to explore it. btw, that stuffed zucchini flower sounds nice - maybe you can write a recipe and I'll try to cook it, because we have many zucchini here:)

Lovely page on Cyprus. After reading your tips, it sounds like a very nice Island to visit. Would love to browse those Antique shops, visit the pretty harbour, see the Abbey, and especially what remains of "Kyrenia"
