We’re asked this question more often than you might think: Why North Cyprus when there is Mallorca? Both islands offer sunshine, the sea and a Mediterranean lifestyle. They are also roughly the same size – and yet they are surprisingly different. Mallorca feels more familiar, accessible and European in the way it is organised. North Cyprus feels more unspoilt, affordable and adventurous. We’re not here to persuade you to choose one over the other. Instead, we want to offer th

AfD member of parliament Maximilian Krah travelled to Northern Cyprus at the end of August for political and social talks. He and his hosts hope for an end to international restrictions.

We placed them side by side as they actually sound today: from Northern Cyprus, from Turkey, from the south of the island, from Greece, from the west, from Israel and from Russia. Driving through Girne today, Turkish and Northern Cypriot flags hang more densely than usual from some hous

Opening sequence: They stand in the middle of the road, curiously poking their heads through car windows, and for many visitors, they are as much a part of the Karpaz Peninsula as Golden Beach and the Monastery of Apostolos Andreas. Now, the wild donkeys of Northern Cyprus are to be captured and moved to controlled protected areas. What initially sounds like the end of a Cypriot idyll is, in reality, an attempt to protect the Karpaz donkeys, the natural environment, and the p
