Cyprus is like little England, the Turkish side is more "authentic" One tip if you are going to drive over there then update your satnav with the maps available from the Cyprus tourist board think both TomTom and Garmin are covered, I did and they were more accurate than the official ones and the ones the locals use both sides of the border. |

A lot of friends are trying to sell up and move home. Cyprus, it's really not the place to be at the minute. Same for Turkey I reckon. Last time in both places found it quite rough. Shame because few years ago they were nice. |

i have lived here for 9 years now and its the best place to live. don,t listen to those who tell you its not a good place. Like any place you live, its up to you to make a go of it and fit in with the way of life. too many people come here to live and decide to go home because its''not the same as the uk'' well f... off back if you are not prepared to give it a go. the south id a better options. so many things to, infact too many things to do and get involved in. happy hunting |

North East England |
Went there 2 years ago and it was fantastic, much better than the South in my opinion, unless you are looking for a little England type of place.
The Turkish Lira has went up quite a bit too, and the North is much cheaper to eat and drink than the south. More chance of FAB fun in the south I would imagine though |

hi lots of FAB couples come to the south. i have met and become friends with quite a few. More to do in the south. Having Larnaca. Limassol and Paphos to choose from for holiday destinations. Also has the largest area of the mountains to get away from the summer heat. enjoy cyprus where ever you end up. !!! |

We travel to Turkey regularly and know North Cyprus reasonably well also. If you're going to Kyrenia (Girne) it's worth driving up the coast towards Dipkarpaz. This is one of the few towns on the North side which still has a mixed population. En route, try and visit Buffavento Castle, there are views that will stay with you for a life time. From Dipkarpaz, head further North to Apostolos Andreas and then right up to the most Northerly point at Zafer Burnu. The last couple of miles are a dust track but it's a smashing drive. There are a couple of outstanding beaches along that drive. Make sure you visit the ruins at Salamis and the city of Famagusta. If you stay in Kyrenia, try and have a sunset dinner in a hillside village called Bellapais. You'll thank us. In Turkey, we mostly visit Istanbul and Fethiye. Turkish and Cypriot people tend to be as conservative as you might expect and most of the swinging tends to be confined to the ex-pat community, particularly Brits, Germans and Irish. Over the years, we have come to know a number of couples with whom we meet when we visit. By necessity, these are incredibly discrete and require enormous trust. If it weren't for the fact that Mrs speaks Turkish, it would be pretty much impossible. Hope some of this helps. |
