2 – Climate

North Cyprus justifiably claims to provide visitors with over 300 days of sunshine a year, and at the time of writing, we can safely say that summer has definitely arrived with temperatures in the shade of around 27 degrees, meaning that in the sun you could be looking at 30 degrees plus!  Utterly perfect for lounging around the pool or on the beach with a short hop to the waters edges to cool you down when required.

3 – Cuisine

What can we say about the cuisine here in North Cyprus?  Let us start by telling you that there is plenty to choose from!  Why not partake of some traditional Turkish Cypriot meze to start with; small dishes of hot and cold starters all freshly prepared and delicious, an ideal way to eat on a hot summers evening.  Choose from a range of meat and fish dishes such as kebabs, clay oven cooked lamb, grilled or bbq’d sea bream for example.  If you can fit anything else in, then why not finish off with a cool riced pudding dessert all washed down with a glass of local Efes beer or local wine.

If that doesn’t grab you then there are many other restaurants in North Cyprus serving a great mix of European and International cuisines that will!  All tastes are catered for with some stunning eateries around to choose from.

4 – Hospitality

The Turkish Cypriot people are famous for their welcoming smiles and generous personalities.  Wherever you go and wherever you stay, whether it’s at a luxury hotel, a holiday village or a bed and breakfast you will receive the same service and hospitality.  In restaurants you will find attentive staff who will be more than happy to tell you all about North Cyprus and the ‘patron’ will often come and join you after your meal and make you feel right at home by having a chat.  You may well get to meet some of the other family members too!  Many people experience evenings which they will remember for many years to be the best times of their holiday, and many do return to be greeted as friends as if they had not been away!
