Northern Cyprus is a true treasure trove of history, culture, and natural beauty. Here, legendary landmarks rise proudly: the historic Kyrenia Castle, the romantic Bellapais Monastery, the enigmatic Othello Castle, and the majestic Church of St. George. Other architectural gems, such as St. Hilarion Castle and the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, further enrich the region’s heritage.
The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) enchants visitors not only with its monuments but also with its rich gastronomy: savory halloumi cheese, delicious börek pastries, tender Cypriot meatballs, flavorful molokhia, aromatic pilafuna, and sweet walnut paste offer an unforgettable culinary journey.
Sea lovers will discover paradise on beaches like Glapsides, Acapulco, Alagadi, Altınkum, and Denizkızı, all known for their natural beauty and the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. Active initiatives such as the “Island of Cyprus” project, supported by TÜRSAB and KITSAB, aim to promote the region’s cultural and natural riches to the world.
As TÜRSAB President Firuz Bağlıkaya highlights, tourism is the main source of income for the TRNC. The current goal is to attract over 2 million tourists annually, offering them an unforgettable experience of the island’s nature, history, and culture.
KITSAB President Orhan Tolun emphasizes that Northern Cyprus is one of the world’s richest regions in terms of tourism potential. Developing sustainable, year-round tourism, increasing the average length of stay, and expanding the accommodation capacity are key strategies driving the region’s future growth.
Northern Cyprus invites you to discover a land where history meets modernity and every moment is infused with the enchanting spirit of the Mediterranean.
