With 340 days of sunshine a year and the perfect Mediterranean climate it’s no wonder thousands of visitors flock to Cyprus every year to escape the sometimes less forgiving Northern European climate. Northern Cyprus has all of the prerequisites for the perfect summer break: sun…lots of! Beautiful sandy beaches, warm turquoise blue waters to bathe in and a sumptuous mix of the best of Eastern and Western cuisine. And northern Cyprus is able to offer its many visitors far more than a perfect climate and fine food; one of the highlights of a visit to Northern Cyprus is a trip to the ancient and beautiful harbour town of Kyrenia (or Girne).
