Top 5 Things To Do Whilst On Holiday To Cyprus



Every year holidaymakers manage to grab great cheap holidays to destinations across the globe and they do this by being smart, by using travel comparison websites. The great thing with these sites is they do all the hard work for you. They compare holidays, so that you can find and enjoy get value holidays, which won’t break the bank. So no more do you have to spend days trawling the high streets visiting travel agent after travel agent or feel bombarded by online holiday discount centres offering deals left, right and centre.

Cyprus holidays are very popular among holidaymakers, as there is so much to do and see, making it ideal for families, couples and groups of friends. Below we have picked out the must see places if you are visiting northern Cyprus.

Donkeys are dying out!

There are few things that Turkish and Greek Cypriots agree on; however, they both feel passionately about saving the population of wild donkeys in Karpas. A national park has been built here to house rare flora and fauna, hoping to prevent the decreasing population, by keeping an eye on them. We would highly recommend visiting this park as not only is it filled with rare donkeys but there are also miles of sandy beach inside. If you are impressed by expensive looking yachts, then make sure you have a wander down to the Karpas Gate Marina, as here you can see an array of super yachts. It is evident that the stupidly rich owners are trying to outdo one another by having the most striking boat.

Kyrenia mountain range

This isn’t recommended for those who of you scared of heights, as the Kyrenia mountain range is impressive to see, but the range is a shear and jagged outcrop. Did you know that this range has been used as a natural defence by Byzantines, Crusaders, Venetian and Ottomans? This probably doesn’t come as any surprise. Visiting this mountain range won’t cost you a penny, meaning holidaymakers can make sure there cheap holidays, stay, well, cheap!

Museums

Cyprus holidays are not complete without learning about the history and culture of the island or country you are visiting. With this in mind it is a good job that there are few Turkish towns that have managed to resist the urge to open an ethnographic museum. These museums are often filled to the brim with dummies made of wax in traditional Anatolian peasant clothing. 

Try local cuisine

Holidaymakers have to take full advantage of fresh tasty fish whilst on cheap holidays to Cyprus. Make sure that you check out the many resturants located on the Kyrenia harbour, as they are conveniently located where fishing boars unload their catch, meaning the fish served to you has not long been caught. So you get to enjoy fresh fish, which is full of taste!

Promenade 

Northern Cyprus at dusk is truly stunning and you won’t get a better view than from the quayside in Girne. Take a wander and experience the beautiful view, as you see the sun set in the far distance. If you are on a family holiday then you will be glad to know that there are many playgrounds dotted around, making sure that your little ones are entrained, as you get to spend quality time watching the sun set with a loved one.
So, make sure that you have memorised (or at least written down) this list before you hop on that plain and enjoy Cyprus holidays.
