An island with ravishing sites – Northern Cyprus


I have never felt like how I felt when I was in Northern Cyprus for my beach holidays.

It is true that the destination for your holidays (whether annual holidays during summer season or any other season like winter) should be selected with open eyes. I had been to various destinations across the world but never had witnessed such beautiful views of nature that which I have come across here in Famagusta Northern Cyprus and Kyrenia Northern Cyprus.

Inexplicable beauty and historism

Nothing can be explained in few bunches of the words. It will really take volume if I here go on writing eulogizing about the island, its beauty, its history, its people, its ways, tradition and culture etc.

We were a team of five people. All of us are the best of the friends. We had been to many islands, had been to many cities in China, US, Germany, Italy etc but it was for the time that we were on this small island: North Cyprus holidays. To be frank, when Johnny, our little master, jack of all trades, told us about this island then we thought it would not be good to go as this seems to be an island of very small size so definitely there will not be anything to admire or look at. But we were wrong. Johnny started explaining about what we can do there, where we can go and what all the things that make this island, how everything is etc….

Getting ready for beach holidays in North Cyprus

The way he described the place was really awesome. We were all just intoxicated by his manner of explanation. When I asked him how he came to know so much so about the island then he told me that his father’s brother resides there. Listening to this same answer we didn't wait for we wanted to go there and experience our summer holidays in a different manner….

We didn't have to find any Cyprus hotel because we stayed in Mr. Chapel’s House. We stayed at his uncle’s house even though there were many Northern Cyprus hotels.

Staying in the hotel was not necessary. In fact, we didn't stay in the hotel because Johnny’s father was kind enough to invite us to his home. He was the owner of the villa property near the Kyrenia village that is Bellapais. We were really happy that we didn't have to look for a hotel there. Even though it seemed to be easier to find a hotel in Kyrenia or a hotel in Famagusta yet we didn't have to apply efforts for the same as we found shelter …..

Northern Cyprus holidays

Northern Cyprus is really a place to be visited. It is a wonderful place which is just suitable for any kind of tourists. No mater whether you are a historian or a naturalist or any one who is interested in the animal life or the one who is a beach holiday lover etc. There is everything for everyone here on this island.

We visited not just beaches but went to the most charmingly fascinating and intriguingly beautiful historical places such as Five Finger Mountains, Famagusta Walls, Royal Tombs, Othello Castle, Nestorian Church, Salamis, Venetian Palace, Kyrenia Castle, Shipwrek Museum Kirsokova etc.

This village, Bellapais Abbey was itself a place of historical background. We were told a number of things about this abbey, the monastic life, the ritual and customs etc. Listening to all those stories from his uncle and from many other elder people there, I was bit lost in the past life here. That made me to go to the libraries and find the treasure there in the books about these places. I read a lot about the history of the places like Karpas peninsula, Famagusta, Kyrenia, Nicosia etc…. Each place seems to be a distinctly small island within the island with its own history and culture.

Holidays Cyprus

We never dreamt that our time in Cyprus would just go away in a wink. We stayed there for whole two weeks but it seemed like a day to us there for we were so very busy in going about various places that we didn't even keep the track of the days. Days just rolled by. One after the other and one after the other and finally the day of our departure arrived. We had to bid adieu to this beautiful place, to the handsomest uncle of my friend Johnny and to his the beaches which were our friends….

How will it be here if anyone opts for winter sun holidays instead of summer holidays? Well, imaging this could be possible because the weather here seems to be moderately good all the time. Come here to this island to experience your real two centre holidays or multi centre holidays

Summer holidays

We bagged an all inclusive holiday deals at price which was very lesser. In fact we were lucky (You too can bag one of the cheapest holiday deals only if you approach at the right time prices increases or decreases according to the seasons. If you are planning to come in summer then perhaps you will be asked to pay more but if you have plans to come here in winter season then there will be chances that you will get the ticket at low or perhaps lowest prices)

This place is really awesome for singles holiday. Try once. Book your flight tickets through any airline. The best would be to contact a consolidator or tour operator such as Direct Traveller and ask them for AtlasJet Airlines flights. Get discounted tickets on holiday special offers for your holidays on the beach in Northern Cyprus.

The AtlasJet flights we booked through Direct Traveller included hot in-flight meals, and excellent seat pitch, and a good baggage allowance. A premium service from a well known airline and tour operator.
