Cyprus Singles Escape
Cyprus, Kyrenia
Northern Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Northern Cyprus is a land of beaches, mountains, castles and villages, where time stood still many years ago. About 200,000 people live in this small country, which is only 120 miles from east to west and about 15 miles from north to south.
However, the climate, from the dry central plain, to the mountains, to the coast and beaches, is dramatic in its contrasts. In addition, Northern Cyprus has a wide variety of wild flora and fauna, is a stopping off point for many species of migrating birds, and there is also a green turtle conservation area.
Cyprus was repeatedly invaded over the centuries, each invasion leaving a legacy that survives to this day. The Resort area Kyrenia, the pretty old harbour town looks very much as it did in 1914, although what once were Carob warehouses are now restaurants and bars.
Journey to amazing Northern Cyprus to capture the winter sun - There is something for everyone to enjoy!

| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Karpaz | Karpaz - First a visit to the fishing village of Bogaz, and then on to Ayios Trias with its beautiful mosaics. Lunch at a village taverna with traditional Cypriot food. Then on to the village of Dipkarpaz, where Turks and Greeks still live together as neighbors. Admire the beautiful scenery of the golden, sandy turtle beach, where the rare loggerhead and green turtles lay their eggs. Continue to the very tip of the Karpaz peninsula - known as the panhandle - to visit the Monastery of Apostolos Andreas to admire the icons. Don't forget to drink the holy water and make a wish before you leave. There will be an opportunity to swim from one of the wonderful unspoilt beaches during the day. |
| Day 2 | Famagusta | Famagusta - Another fascinating full day combining stunning nature with beautiful artifacts of Cypriot history. Set off from Kyrenia and drive over the Five Finger Mountain and the Messaouria Plain to Famagusta where you will visit the St Nicholas Cathedral and Othello's Tower from whence Shakespeare is said to have drawn inspiration for his play. After lunch visit the ancient city of Salamis, one of the best preserved in the Mediterranean. Continue to the Monastery of St Barnabas with its famous collection of icons. |
| Day 3 | Nicosia | Nicosia - And now for something different, but nevertheless a fascinating historical half-day out. Visit the divided capital of Cyprus and drive along the famous Green Line to the Ledra Palace check-point and Kyrenia Gate. Walk through the Gold and Textile streets to visit the Kervansaray and Gambler's Inn. Continue to the St Sophie cathedral and on to the covered Bazaar to enjoy some free time for shopping. End the trip at the Saray Hotel and visit the roof-top bar for a spectacular view of the divided capital. |
| Day 4 | Kyrenia | Scuba Diving - As a special feature of our week, we are offering a day dedicated to Scuba diving. In just one day even beginners can feed fish or stroke an octopus. Kyrenia is the perfect centre we operate with for this sport and the first and only BSAC/PADI recognised diving school. We operate two dives in the day from Deniz Kizi beach and the dive sites are probably the best in the Mediterranean The sea is warm, the water is crystal clear with visibility up to 30 mts. With an abundance of underwater life, one can easily run into eels, stingrays, octopus, amber jack and Caretta-caretta sea turtles. For experienced divers there are reefs, caves and ancient shipwreck sites, with the oldest commercial shipwreck a few miles from Kyrenia harbour (dated 300 BC). Non-divers are welcome on board, and with full facilities, bar and a delicious lunch, its a day not to be missed. |
| Day 5 | Kyrenia | Trekking- After a morning briefing we set off for our walk, initially heading east towards the village of Bellapais made famous by Lawrence Durrell in his book Bitter Lemons. Much of the village still retains the easy charm of those Durrell days, but the main attraction is the Crusader abbey after which the village is named. Originally founded by Augustinian canans fleeing Palestine in 1200, the abbey went into decline after it was plundered by the Genoese in the 14th century. The monks of the abbey earned a reputation for scandal that was certainly not in keeping with their pious vows, keeping concubines on site and refusing to accept any but their own children as novices! Indeed the village that grew up around the abbey is reputed to be peopled by the descendants of those very monks.After visiting the abbey and the famous Tree of Idleness which still stands before it, we continue onto Ozankoy, via the Crusader Way. Prior to the segregation of the island Ozankoy was a village of mixed nationalities, famous for its carob syrup and olive oil. You can still buy the syrup, which is reputed to be a mild aphrodisiac. From here, providing the Tree of Idleness, or the carob syrup hasn't had any detrimental effects, we head back to Kyrenia. |
| Day 6 | Kyrenia | At Leisure |
| Day 7 | Kyrenia | Cyprus Night - Towards the end of our stay, not to be missed is a wonderful night in the beautiful setting of the illuminated ruins of Bellapais Abbey, close to the renowned Tree of Idleness. Enjoy traditional live music and dancing whilst you savour the delicious local cuisine. |
