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.
