Northern Cyprus, officially known as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, is a self-declared state recognized only by Turkey. It offers a unique and compelling blend of ancient history, captivating beaches, and vibrant culture. One of its iconic landmarks is the city of Famagusta, with its medieval walls and the haunting `Ghost Town` Varosha - once a glamorous resort, now abandoned and off-limits. The ancient city of Salamis, with its impressive Roman ruins, is a must-visit. Kyrenia (Girne) is famed for its picturesque harbour lined with restaurants, its castle housing a shipwreck museum, and nearby Bellapais Abbey offering stunning views. Northern Cyprus is also home to several universities, infusing the region with a youthful, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Despite its political complexities, it`s a largely undiscovered gem with a warm climate, friendly locals, and delicious Turkish Cypriot cuisine, making it a memorable destination for those seeking history, sun, and adventure.
