With the beautiful, crystal-clear turquoise Mediterranean and with around 300 days of guaranteed sunshine a year, North Cyprus proudly boasts that is a true "year round" destination with distinct seasons - a long beautiful and colourful spring, four months of guaranteed hot summer sun from June to October, an autumn of perfect, temperate weather and a short winter offering sunshine by day but with cool nights. With miles and miles of unspoilt beaches along the Karpaz Peninsula, the busy main harbour town of Kyrenia, historical Famagusta, The old city of Nicosia with its shops and bazaars and the garden city of Guzelyurt, there is plenty to see. For the active, there is plenty to do as well, though relaxation is easy here.

The island has a traditional culture, kept alive by a proud and friendly race of people who are widely considered as some of the kindest and most hospitable in the world. The food is delicious, appetising and healthy, with local, family-run restaurants found in villages as well as towns. International cuisine is also available with many Italian, Indian, Chinese and French restaurants as well as fast food and takeaways. Local markets offer everything from seasonal fruit, vegetables, nuts, cheese, breads, cakes to craft work and clothes and are held every day in a different town, a tradition that has never died from the days when the peasant farmer was encouraged to sell his own produce locally.
