North Cyprus offers the perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life. With over 240 miles of spectacular coastline, North Cyprus enjoys myriad of picturesque coves and beautiful broad bays backed by historic harbours and citrus groves. Whether it’s swimming in crystal-clear turquoise waters, listening to the calming sound of the waves or scuba diving in one of the region’s magnificent dive sites, North Cyprus offers a great choice for those who enjoy the sea and the sun. Indeed it is no surprise that according to legend, Julius Caesar gave the island to Cleopatra as a Tolkien of his love.

The two main beach resorts are Kyrenia and Famagusta. Kyrenia is home to many of the island’s beautiful beaches, as well as being one of the most charming towns in the Mediterranean. Nestled between the sea and the Five-Finger Mountain Range, the resort offers a wondrous combination of hidden coves, sandy beaches and cultural and historical attractions.

Beaches are plentiful in the region and their tranquil waters are the ideal place to enjoy a lazy day on the sea, rounded off with a late afternoon walk at the 12th century Bellapais Abbey and candlelit dinner at a terrace restaurant overlooking the crescent-shaped Venetian harbour which still retains of its original character.

Famagusta, a peaceful harbour town in North Cyprus, is another fantastic destination for beach holidays, as the beach itself is a wonderful expanse of golden sands, and is also very close to the town, an outdoor museum of architecture and ancient ruins. But for the ultimate sea side gateway, the area close to the Salamis Ruins offers the best choice of sandy beaches. This region, approximately 6 miles north of Famagusta, is perfect for those seeking a relaxing holiday as most hotels are a stone’s throw from the beach.

The highlight of the area is Golden Beach, one of the world’s finest and longest beaches with magnificent golden sands that stretch for more than 3 miles.
