... Roads to North Cyprus

Quote of the post: "Travel memories come back to home when you put your head on your pillow." - Sachin Kumar Gupta (Sach)

If you call North Cyprus as "Pearl of the Mediterranean", wouldn't be wrong. It holds the history in itself with high mountains, golden beaches, Casinos, sea caves, old harbour, castles, churches, and wild flowers all around. I have been here twice, during Easter -summer and Christmas -winter time. Both times I enjoyed here. But I would suggest summer times to enjoy golden beaches, Kyrenia harbour town, North Cyprus tip and Famagusta. Other than that during winter, you can do trekking over the mountains, St. Hilarian Castle, Buffavento Castle and Kantara Castle.



There are two ways to enter into NC, one through Nicosia (Agios Demitos) and another through Pile (Pyla). Each car will be charged 20 Euros (4 people max in each car for 3 days) at the border. Don't forget to put the return stamp while coming back from NC otherwise you wouldn't get entry into NC next time.
To search any places there, follow the map and always refer the mountains and sea side. ( I know its not so easy.) I have been these places till now:
World's biggest flag engraved on a mountain. (As I know)
