The unspoilt natural beauties of Northern Cyprus, the friendly people, the splendid nature of its immaculate and undisturbed coastal strip of kilometers long sunbathing almost all year round; golden sandy beaches and a magnificent 9000 year history, it is a paradise island in the Mediterranean. Together with the Gothic churches, the Five Finger Mountains dominate the crusader castles, temple ruins and examples of British colonial architecture as a fantastic mix of history. The island has a rich history and architectural heritage left over by various civilizations established over centuries.
