North Cyprus - Introduction
|
|
It
is becoming increasingly difficult to find a holiday destination not
effected by excessive commercialisation and over development. The
popular tourist trails now stretch the world over and even some of the
remotest places can now be easily reached.
Northern
Cyprus is unique in that is is relatively close to Europe, but has
been overlooked by the tourist industry for many years and is
consequently one of the few places in the Mediterranean where day to
day life seems to have stood still for many years. Now with
Southern Cyprus
a member of the EU and border restrictions between the North and South
being relaxed,
Northern Cyprus
is back on the tourist map. In truth, it had never really gone away,
but the wider perception of a 'closed community' meant that it was
generally over looked and ignored. A small contingent of tourists from
Europe
,
including many from the
UK
have in fact been visiting the Northern part of Cyprus
for many years and have enjoyed their secret.

Northern Cyprus
is now beginning to catch up with the rest of Europe. There is a good
deal of recent property development in the area - not all of it as
tasteful as one might like - and tourism is also a significant
contributor to the economy. Unfortunately the infrastructure to
support this recent growth is still being developed, resulting in some
interesting "quirks". Power cuts are quite common, although
usually only for short periods of time and water supply on the island
is also a big challenge. The roads in and out of Kyrenia can also get
very busy at peak times (although work has just started on a bypass to
alleviate this problem).
|
| Kyrenia,
the major tourist destination in the North, is a small,
interesting harbour town. Kyrenia has numerous bars and restaurants and a
fascinating history as witnessed by the Venetian harbour front
buildings, its medieval fort and numerous ancient buildings. A
quote taken from the Sunday Express says it all; "
Kyrenia
Harbour
. . . must be one of the most beautiful sights in the world"

The
islands natural beauty, the ideal climate, the warmth of the Turkish
Cypriot peoples, the many bars and restaurants make
Northern
Cyprus
the perfect, unspoilt holiday destination. There
is virtually no crime and the general feeling is reminiscent of the
UK
probably some 50 years ago.
