Northern
Cyprus, The Island Of Aphrodite...
Welcome
to Northern Cyprus, and congratulations on your excellent choice.
As the third largest island in the Mediterranean, Cyprus has been
ocupied by a succession of civilisations over the past 2000 years,
all of whom have left their mark. History abounds everywhere; from
the three great Crusader castles built in the time of Richard the
Lionheart, to the Roman ruins at Salamis, each conquering empire
has contributed to the beauty and culture of this remarkable island.
Climate: Northern Cyprus is blessed with the most pleasing climate
in the whole of Europe. The winters are mild, and rarely extend
beyond February, and with over 300 days of sunshine a year, the
temperatures can reach into the 70's as early as March. In April
and May, Northern Cyprus is at its most beautiful, with fields of
wild flowers in full bloom, and the weather is not unlike that of
a good English summer. June, July and August are the hottest months
and ideal for sun worshippers. Not suprisingly, September and October
are the most popular months, when the weather is still wonderfull
warn (rarely below 80 F), but the evenings are cooler. Currency:
The currency of Northern Cyprus is the Turkish Lira - the exchange
rate varies daily.
