Singapore – Dream Country?
Singapore for many, especially for Asian, is like a dream country;
a place where they would like to live.
Why? Because it’s so modern and seems to be a paradise.
I’m much more impressed by nature than by architecture,
but can understand that fascination by Singapore or Dubai.
Singapore – Introduction
Welcome to Singapore.
Tha small Asian country that is a dream for many, do you know why?
I’ll talk about it later. 🙂
Northern Cyprus – Final impression
Today, I’m showing you my last picture from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
I hope, you liked some of the pictures. 🙂
I don’t want to have politics on the travel blog, so I try to avoid this topic as much as possible, just giving you basic information. I decided to show you Cyprus and North Cyprus separately, because both parts are kind of treated like different “countries”; and tourists face different restrictions while visiting them.
Tomorrow, we’ll travel south. 🙂
Stay tuned!
Northern Cyprus – Currency
The new Turkish lira is the official currency of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
I was sometimes using euro, but the rest was always given in Turkish lira.
Northern Cyprus – Mountains
I really like mountains in the North Cyprus;
you can find some paths for hiking and lovely located castels. 🙂
Northern Cyprus – Rent a Car
For visiting Cyprus, it’s very convenient to rent a car.
There are some restrictions, because of the insurance, and it’s not always possible to visit North Cyprus by car from the South. When you rent a car in the North, then you are not allowed to go South.
However, rules may change, so check everything shortly before traveling.
Northern Cyprus – Nicosia
Nicosia (Turkish: Lefkosa, Greek: Lefkosia) is the divided capital of Cyprus.
Northern Cyprus – Buffavento Castle
If you like hiking and ruins, check the Buffavento Castle on the Kyrenia Range.
Northern Cyprus – Bellapais Monastery
Bellapais Abbey is also known as Bellapais Monastery.
Its name comes from French and means “Abbey of Peace”.
I have to say, I didn’t expect to see something like that on the island.
Northern Cyprus – Bellapais Abbey
Do you know that a 14th century Lusignan Bellapais Abbey can be seen in Northern Cyprus?
It’s a only a short drive distance from Kyrenia.
Don’t miss it! 🙂
Northern Cyprus – Shipwreck Museum in Kyrenia
Shipwreck Museum is also a must-visit place in Kyrenia.
You’ll see there a ship from the period of the Hellenistic kingdoms founded after the death of Alexander; so something very old and very unique! Highly recommend!
Northern Cyprus – Kyrenia Castle
Kyrenia Castle is one of the main attractions of Kyrenia.
Definitely, plan to visit the impressive castle.
Northern Cyprus – Beaches around Kyrenia
Kyrenia has nice beaches,
not only for people, but also for turtles. 🙂
Northern Cyprus – KirĂnia or Girne
Kyrenia name is adapted from Greek KirĂnia,
but in Turkish the town is called Girne.
Northern Cyprus – Kyrenia
Kyrenia is a small, busy, tourist, harbour town.
Everyone should find there something nice;
if not, “just outside Kyrenia” there are a few more attractions. 🙂
