Trekking
Visit North Cyprus and explore the magnificent and literally untouched nature in the mountains. Walking tours are available for all types of difficulties and duration. We put together small groups of 3-4 people (of course larger if required), with a costing of £20 – £25 per person, including a Cypriot lunch or dinner in little village restaurants up in the mountains. Our multi lingual guides have walked in the Himalaya Mountains and in Japan. Experience with us the pure nature of Cyprus...

Contact us to arrange your walking tour prior to your arrival, to avoid disappointment.

Sea Turtles
Turtles still nest on sandy beaches around Kyrenia, on the Karpaz peninsula and in Famagusta Bay. Both green and loggerhead turtles are listed as endangered species and are heavily protected. You can watch the turtles under the supervision of the Society for the Protection of Turtles (SPOT). This is by far the best way to both see and help the turtles, as even visiting nesting beaches during the breeding season can seriously affect the turtles’ welfare. The research team at Alagadi Beach near Kyrenia both night and dawn beach surveys to check on hatching activity and you can join them on their night patrols. Full details are available at reception.

Bird Watching
More than 250 different species of birds pass the island on their route from Europe to Nil delta in autumn and back in Spring. Some birds use the island to rest and continue, and some spend the winter in Cyprus. The best places for bird watching in Cyprus are Glapsides Beach in Famagusta region is, Guzelyurt Bay, Southwest of the village Mehmetcik, the Karpaz Peninsula and the water reservoir between Kanlikoy and Sadrazamkoy.

Please ask at reception for directions, our helpful staff will be more than happy to assist you further.

Karting
The ZET International Karting Circuit exceeds the highest European standards and has one of the best racing surfaces in the region. It has become a frequent stop for fans of the sport since its opening on the 20th of May 2000. The remarkable structure of the racing surface is yet un-matched even in Europe and is expected to contribute immensely to the Karting sport. The circuit provides drivers with 5 different racing distances, namely 300, 600, 900, 1100 and 1200 meters. The asphalt platform is 7 meters wide and has sand and earth barriers.

Caving
There are several caves in Northern Cyprus that you are free to explore. One, known as the Hot Cave, north of Agirdag village on the southern slopes of the Five Finger Mountains, is a partially collapsed natural formation. Warm air emanates from the cave, hence the name. For your own safety, please do not attempt to enter the cave. Another natural cave in the Kyrenia area is the Guvercinlik Cave. Access to the cave involves some fairly difficult climbing. Proceed with caution. Probably the most beautiful cave is Incirli Cave, a hundred mete long passage which contains an amazing collection of stalactites and stalagmites. The cave is opened on Sundays, and there is a small entrance fee. There are many more caves in North Cyprus, please contact us for more information.

Camping
There are several official camping sites in the Kyrenia and Famagusta areas which offer services such as washrooms, toilets, restaurants and bars. However the more intrepid visitor may wish to venture out into the wild, where there are no such facilities. There are no restrictions on such activities except that lighting fires in forest areas is an offence.

Paintball
