Introduction:
Cyprus, the most easterly of the Mediterranean islands, is a beautiful island with a unique landscape of mountains, plains and beaches. The sandy beaches stretch for miles here!
Our North Cyprus Family Tour is based in the hill village of Lapta, located a short drive from the quaint harbour town of Kyrenia, where springs flow from the mountains to water the groves of olives and citrus. We explore St Hilarion Castle which overlooks the Mediterranean, and one of the finest crusader castles in the Middle East, and also Bellapais Abbey, a 12th Century French Gothic Abbey in the Five Finger Mountains. We have lunch under the Tree of Idleness, and visit Alagadi Turtle Beach, where loggerhead and green turtles come to nest.
A second day trip takes us to the North Cyprus capital Nicosia, with its old Ottoman houses and hotel (Kervansaray), food bazaar and local arts and crafts, with time to try some home-made Cypriot food at a traditional restaurant. We also include a day trip to the Karpas Peninsula, known as the “Pan Handle” in search of the wild donkeys. Here we explore the beautiful landscape its golden unspoilt beaches, also home to the turtles in season.
Amongst our day trips there is free time for you to relax on the beach, or choose from the many optional activities including horse riding, diving, and day tips to explore other parts of Cyprus. Plenty of fun for all the family!
