Northern Cyprus has been under the jurisdiction of Turkey for many years and is a republic that only this country has recognized. This, unfortunately, does not contribute to its popularity among Russian tourists, but those who visited this part of the island of Aphrodite in the resorts of Northern Cyprus were satisfied with the rest. To travel here, Russians do not need a Schengen visa and the procedure for crossing the border for them is the same as when entering Turkey. The only inconvenience for those who have chosen a vacation in North Cyprus is the lack of direct flights to Nicosia. Air communication is possible only with a transfer at one of the Turkish airports or by sea from Alanya.
Always in the TOP
The most famous resorts in Northern Cyprus are pleasantly attractive for the lack of a tourist crowd and the cleanliness of the beaches. Here you can easily find secluded areas of the coast, where there are no vacationers at all, and the sea seems especially clear. However, the infrastructure of popular holiday destinations is quite developed and there are enough comfortable hotels and nice restaurants for everyone:
- Famagusta, located in the east of the island, is almost two and a half thousand years old. In addition to ancient buildings and archaeological sites in this city, you can find cute shops and restaurants with an authentic menu - both Greek and Turkish. Famagusta hotels are designed for the most diverse public, and their level is quite consistent with the stardom declared on the facade.
- Tourists of all ages and all incomes feel comfortable in Kyrenia. Hotels in this part of Northern Cyprus welcome both wealthy travelers and those who prefer budget accommodation options. The beaches of Kyrenia are clean and well maintained. They are considered some of the best in the Mediterranean.
Not a single beach
In the resorts of Northern Cyprus, there is something to do with yourself in your free time from swimming and sunbathing. Water sports and local wine tasting, shopping in the oriental bazaar and excursions to numerous attractions - the entertainment program can be varied and exciting.
Divers love Northern Cyprus for the opportunity to observe the flora and fauna of the underwater world, and fishermen love for the opportunity to hook dinner with their own hands. Fans of antiquities are happy to explore a real rarity - a ship raised from the bottom of the sea, sunk during the time of Alexander the Great.
