ALAGADI TURTLE BEACH & ITS GOOD SOUL "ERKAN"-THE JEWELLERY & HANDICRAFT VENDOR
What would "Alagadi Turtle Paradise" Beach be, without its lovable hippie called "Erkan". An artist, philosopher and real walking encyclopedia in so many ways.
As soon as you enter the Alagadi Turtle Paradise through the oleander-lined entrance, you may well be surprised as a German-speaking visitor with a friendly Hamburg "Na, wat schnackt".
Then "Erkan" is a real institution on Alagadi Beach and a jewellery and handicraft seller.
Einer unserer Lieblingsspots, wenn wir If you're ever in need of a little time out, you can't miss this place in our northern Cypriot collection. It is simply a magical interplay that lures us here again and again.
The energy of the unique turtle nature reserve with one of the largest sandy beaches in the region, Erkan and his always interesting stories, which we have been able to listen to since the beginning of our first visit here, and the warm welcome from the operators of the beach shack "Alagadi Turtle Paradise".
But today we devote all our attention to Erkan and the long-awaited interview with him.
It is one of the interviews that particularly touched us, because Erkan takes us on his very personal journey through life.
As a true hippie he travelled with his caravan through America and many other countries, settled on Mallorca for some time as a gallery owner, fell in love with a German girl and loves and adores everything that concerns fauna & flora. How he came back to Cyprus and became a tour guide and then settled down on Alagadi Beach with his dream job.
As you can imagine, we didn't get by with 30 minutes of interview time this time. His life story is so inspiring, so colourful, so blooming and above all so entertaining and educational.
We are sure that his mission is to bring people back to themselves and to nature.
And one thing we guarantee is that he will do it - a little bit more with every visit to Alagadi. If you want to be infected by Erkan's deep knowledge, you should definitely check out this interview.
And maybe the next time you visit the Alagadi Turtle Paradise, you won't be able to pass by the stand of this touching, introspective soul without a "Wat schnackt"! Here are some links for you,
