Destinations - Cyprus

North Cyprus has an excellent mediterranean climate with good swimming, wonderful walking in the mountains and along the coast, interesting historical sites to visit and a variety of good inexpensive restaurants.

Our Crusader Castle Tour takes you to the most magnificent and scenic parts of NORTH CYPRUS – high into the hills with breathtaking views and fascinating mountain top castles. We will also visit some of the ancient sites and still inhabited Greek villages in the little known KARPAS PENINSULA.

Some of the most beautiful scenery and splendid views are hidden away in the untouched woodland, craggy hillsides, sleepy villages and pretty valleys of NORTH CYPRUS. These are the places that can best be discovered and explored on foot and our tour will take you into forests, across agricultural land, along mountain ridges and amongst ancient olive groves. The sea can occasionally be glimpsed as well as towering CRUSADER CASTLES, ruined monasteries and remote farmhouses.

Springtime in NORTH CYPRUS is a naturalist’s and a plant lover’s delight, with a huge diversity of wild flowers growing in the mountains, along the coast, in the valleys and the castles and around the reservoirs. March and April are a perfect time of year to find the flowers at their best – there are up to twenty different orchids alone and searching for flowers is a wonderful way to get to know this beautiful island.
