First impressions always create lasting memories. When visitors come to North Cyprus they are usually first amazed at the colour and variety of the flowers and trees and the vast natural landscape of rolling hills, farmland and mountains.
Spring is a particularly beautiful time to witness the new growth and colour.
That said, North Cyprus appears to be colourful all year round with the almost firework display of a variety of coloured Bougainvillea which are in bloom for up to 10 months of the year.
Orange and lemon groves glow brightly and abundant olive trees producing delicious fruit and also natural shade from the warm sunshine. If it is magical forests you seek, enjoy the dense evergreen pine and carob trees.
If you take a mountain wild flower tour you will be amazed by the beautiful environment and you will find hidden and rare varieties of orchids along the way.
If wildlife fascinates you then you will enjoy seeing a whole host of animals and insects in their natural environment. Over the years we have seen dolphin, tuna, donkeys, sea turtles and colourful butterflies dancing in the sunshine. Perhaps most impressive is the bird life. There are nearly 350 species of birds that appear annually either native (approximately 46) or on their migration routes. Pack a lunch and a blanket and disappear in the mountains for some bird watching and getting back to nature. It’s very good for the soul and far from the crowds.
