Tourism Attractions in Guzelyurt in North Cyprus

Tourism Attractions in Guzelyurt in North CyprusDepending on the sources you read and the people you speak to Guzelyurt translates to mean ‘beautiful country’ or ‘good earth’ - while neither is a perfect literal translation both meanings get right to heart of the matter and that is, Guzelyurt and the surrounding villages in North West Cyprus are stunningly beautiful, rich and fertile.

Springtime or Autumn are the best times to visit this particular part of Cyprus when the fruit trees are in full bloom or when all the citrus fruits and vegetables for which the area is famous are ripening or being harvested - but whenever you choose to visit there are a number of tourism attraction in Guzelyurt in North Cyprus and in this article we will introduce you to them.

Esentepe North Cyprus

Esentepe North CyprusEsentepe is just one of the many charming Mediterranean villages of Northern Cyprus.  It has grown over the past few years to become a village of some note because many visitors to the area have sought to establish their own homes in Esentepe.

This does not detract from the idyllic coastal retreat that nestles at the foot of the Kyrenia mountain range; rather the development that has come to Esentepe has raised its profile and desirability instead of taking away its rural charm.

Ozankoy Northern Cyprus

Ozankoy Northern CyprusSituated just 3 miles East of Kyrenia, Ozankoy is one of the prettiest villages in Northern Cyprus and is home to a small but truly multi national population!

The residents of the village, which was previously called Kazaphani, have been drawn by the attraction of the peace and tranquillity of Ozankoy’s setting, the beautiful and preserved natural environment around the village and the friendly welcoming nature of the local Turkish Cypriot people.

Famagusta

FamagustaThe Turkish name for Famagusta is Gazimagusa or Magusa and the town, located on the far East coast of Cyprus, has experienced extremes of fortune throughout its long and fascinating history.

Today visitors to Famagusta’s old town will be struck by how ramshackle and ruined it appears and yet it was once the most lavish and rich city in the Eastern Mediterranean.

North Nicosia

North NicosiaNicosia, Lefkosia or Lefkosa...all names for the last remaining divided city in the world.

The unchanged and timeless Turkish Cypriot Northern half of the city is in direct contrast to the busy, sophisticated Greek Cypriot Southern half, yet both sides have a charm and attraction of their own.
