Peninsula Karpasia (Karpas)
Peninsula Karpasia (Karpas)
The long prominence of the peninsula stretches towards Syria for nearly 80 km, its width is very small, thus when driving along the peninsula, you can see both of its coasts at one and the same place. The peninsula is unique as there are unspoilt clean beaches, where sea turtles live and in the wild you can observe pretty Cyprian donkeys. It is worth mentioning that the road in this part of Northern Cyprus is quite complicated, it often goes up high in the mountains. And up there exceptional views open in front of your eyes. And in one of these places at a fairly high altitude in the mountains you can see a serious turnstile with a man sitting by it, who raises money in support of those Cyprian donkeys – just one Turkish lire per person.

Here, you can feel the true identity of Northern Cyprus – are absolutely no tourists (they are here only to travel), people live unhurried, this life.
Drive to the east of the monastery of St. Andrew is already on earth, not a tourist route to get the most eastern part of the island, at the very edge of it. Climb the mountain, where rise the flags of Turkey and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus – and around the boundless sea, and then somewhere far from Syria, Jordan …
