Davlos is the old name of Kaplica village as it appears in the old maps. The village is worthy of its name because of the springs that surface in the mountains and pour into the blue Mediterranean. Kaplica literally means ‘hot spring’ in Turkish. More
The Government of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus have designated Bafra to be the very first Tourism Area on the Island. Situated on the East Coast and approximately 25km from the bustling city of Famagusta, Bafra is undergoing major changes in infrastructure by receiving huge investments from Government and Private Sources in order to provide 5* hotels and leisure facilities.

Northern Cyprus is like the land that has forgotten time. The locals are extremely friendly and it is unspoilt, sleepy, unhurried and beautiful – rather like the Spain of 30 years ago. And Bogaz is not exception. Read
On the roads on Nicosia – Karpas and Famagusta – Karpas, main roads where Kantara Range meets forests and valleys, you find the village Iskele. The Greek name of the village is Trikomo. The name Iskele is a reminder of the relocation of Turk Cypriots from the Turkish district Iskele in the city of Larnaca on the island’s south coast. More
The Karpas Peninsula or “panhandle” as the British called the north-east part of Cyprus is a land where time stands still. There are miles of sandy Karpas beaches with not a person in site. Ancient towns, basilicas, ruins and tombs scatter the area waiting to be explored. To get a taste of Cyprus many years ago, the traveller must visit the Karpas. This peninsula was densely populated in Roman times; it was one of the largest baronies under the Lusignans.
The Karpas Peninsula has miles and miles of wonderful Karpas beaches. It is quite normal to share the sea shore with donkeys rather than other tourists. The area is rich in subterranean water reservoirs and thus crops such as tobacco are grown in abundance. Another main source of income in the region is fishing. Bogaz and Kumyali are the fishing centres in the Karpas.
As well as numerous Byzantine churches, the most notably the Monastery of Apostolos Andreas, the area boasts some of the finest countryside in the country. The Karpas Peninsula has been called the nature reserve of Cyprus for birds, wild flowers, and sea fossils are to be found everywhere. This area is also almost totally free from heavy concentration of industry and people, and is one of the least polluted regions in the European periphery.
Escaping the last ice age, the island of Cyprus has managed to retain a substantial amount of biological diversity with a significant amount of endemic species -plant species number about 1,600 (22 endemic); bird species about 350 (7 endemic); and there are 26 reptile and amphibian species for most of which the Karpas is the natural home. Being also on one of the main migration routes of birds between Eastern Europe and Africa, each year approximately 300 species amounting to millions of birds use this route in early spring and late summer.
Moreover, about 46 sandy beaches in the Karpas comprise the main nestling ground for the endangered Chelonia Mydas and Caretta-Caretta Sea Turtles in the Eastern Mediterranean. In 1992, about 1,500 rare female turtles laid eggs on the shores of North Cyprus. The last colony of European Audouin seagulls nest on the small Klidhes isles at the tip of the Karpas Peninsula in North Cyprus.
