Turkish Cyprus is becoming the Las Vegas of the Mediterranean due to lavish resorts and casinos, although with slight differences. Known as Aphrodite's island of love, Cyprus is a popular tourist destination that receives millions of visitors each year. The Mediterranean's third-largest island, Cyprus's beaches are as hot as Turkey's southern coast, and they remain warm throughout the winter as well. That is why the island can be described as a never-ending holiday paradise.
You can find a nice combination of romance and fun, relaxation and energy at the same time in Turkish Cyprus. If you want to be isolated from the rest of the world while having fun on an island, Turkish Cyprus meets all of your expectations. Tourists can enjoy sunny weather, even late in the year. Under new tourism initiatives and projects to boost the economy, tourists increase by the day on "the pearl of the Mediterranean."
The island is mostly known for casinos like a little Las Vegas in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, with towns such as Girne and luxurious hotels that offer high-quality service to visitors. Honeymooning Turkish couples, who do not need visas or passports to visit, generally prefer lavish hotels. To turn the island into a center of attraction, prestigious hotels give guests a dreamlike vacation and treat all like VIPs. The hotels are spread out across the beaches, allowing guests to enjoy peace and quiet.
If what you want to experience an economic holiday that is crowd-free and has untouched beaches, Turkish Cyprus has much to offer. The Karpass Peninsula has the cleanest beaches in the Mediterranean Sea with small bays that allow you to swim in clear waters and small restaurants that serve fish.
The Apostolos Andreas Monastery overlooks the vast beach of the peninsula, a beach often called "golden sand" due to its color and beauty. The most suitable beach for families visiting the island with children is Glapsides Seaside.
Cyprus has many shopping opportunities with European and local brands alongside local handicrafts from the island. Gold jewelry, leather goods and silk are sold at reasonable prices, generally at set prices as shopkeepers are not open to haggling. Silk and confections are of particularly high quality. Being a tax haven since the country has a lax tax regime for offshore and resident companies, the island is perfect for duty free shopping. To become acquainted with the island's rich history, there are cultural tours designed especially for history buffs. Pick up a guidebook and discover the beauty and culture the island has to offer.
