To discover Northern Cyprus is pure joy, the clear air, the crystal warm sea, the uncommercialised villages and towns, the hospitable friendly Cypriots, to wander, safely along quiet roads through the olive and orange groves in perfect peace. The taste of simple freshly cooked local food, an exquisite experience. Magic!

EU Leaders OK Euro for Cyprus, Malta
BRUSSELS, Belgium — Cyprus and Malta received the go-ahead Thursday from European Union leaders to join the euro currency zone in January.
Final approval will come from EU finance ministers on July 10, bringing the number of countries using the currency to 15.
Cyprus and Malta bring just over 1 million people to the 318 million who now use the euro. Their economies account for only 0.2 percent of euro-zone gross domestic product.
One area of concern was what might happen if the Greek Cypriot part of the island reunites with the breakaway northern Turkish Cypriot republic.
As things stand, only the Greek Cypriot state is recognized by the European Union and will adopt the euro, leaving the Turkish lira as the currency in northern Cyprus.
EU officials insist that letting Cyprus into the euro zone is purely an economic issue. Formal documents barely mention northern Cyprus beyond a minor reference in a European Central Bank report that predicts substantial costs to develop the Turkish Cypriot part after reunification.
EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Joaquin Almunia has warned the Turkish Cypriots against using the euro even though it is not part of the euro zone _ as non-EU members Montenegro and Andorra do.
The Greek Cypriot part of the island joined the EU in May 2004, a month after voting against a United Nations plan that would have led to reunification with the northern state. Turkish Cypriots had voted in favor of the plan.
Larger EU newcomers _ Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria _ have yet to set a date for their entry into the euro zone.
Estonia had originally planned to join next year but is likely to delay that as its growing economy sees inflation surge, a problem that has also slowed Latvian and Lithuanian plans. Slovakia is scheduled to join in 2009.

Baugainvillea, Clematis, Climbing hydrangea North Cyprus Flowers
Bougainvillea – use tall-growing vines on fences, trellises, and as sprawling ground covers.
Tie and intertwine vines on strong support to prevent wind and rain damage. They need a well-drained soil.
Reduce watering and fertilizer in mid-summer to promote flowering.
Clematis – Keep their heads in the sun and toes in the shade is fitting for these vines.
Mulch to keep ground temperatures cool and moist, but give direct sun to encourage their large blooms.
Plants attach to supports with twining leafstalks, and so climb up trellises, walls, poles, and trees.
Prune to control size, encourage fuller lower growth and vigorous flowering.

our holidays in the Manolya Hotel Northern Cyprus
OUR HOLIDAY’S IN THE MANOLYA
We have been asked by Mehmet to show some of the places that we have visited and places that we enjoy eating and drinking at,and generally why we enjoy Northern Cyprus.
There are 3 main reasons for us to come to Northern Cyprus,The scenery,The weather, but most of all the people.
Lets start with the most important the people,we have traveled all over Europe and as yet we haven’t found a friendlier race of people,they always make you welcome whether it be in the towns or the villages.It’s very easy to make friends,which makes you want to return on a regular basis.
Now the scenery,Cyprus has the lot Mountains,plains and a beautiful coastline with crystal clear water and lovely beaches.Also if you visit in the spring time an abundance of beautiful flowers.
Finally the weather,what can you say sun and more sun.In June you can rely on temperatures of around 33 degrees centigrade.July and August get considerably hotter while the spring and autumn are lovely and warm with maybe an occasional shower of rain.
PLACES TO VISIT
Shopping:-
For shopping there is Kyrenia which is fairly small but has plenty of small shops selling pretty much everything from local produce to jewelry and clothes.Every Wednesday they have a local market which is worth a visit.You can easily drive to Kyrenia but park your car in the car park next to the roundabout and walk into the town.Next is Famagusta,there are two parts to this town the old city within the city walls and the new part,again you can buy pretty much anything here.Finally you have Nicosia,this is probably the biggest shopping centre and certainly the hottest,here you have a local produce market and a street market every day (don’t know about Sundays),the best way to go to Nicosia is by Dolmus Taxi or by ordinary taxi but get a price first and ask to be taken to Kyrenia Gate where you will find the tourist information centre.
PLACES OF INTEREST
KARPAZ :-
This you must visit,to us this is the most beautiful part of the island.
We would advise staying overnight at the Balciplaza.
This is a fairly new restaurant with some lovely apartments built in october 2004,a room for 2 people will cost approx £30 per night £45 for 4 people which includes a big full English breakfast,it also has a lovely secluded sandy beach.
The reason we say stop overnight is because it’s a fairly long drive especially if you go over the mountain road through Kaplica, but also there’s a lot to see like the big sandy beaches and the wild donkeys.You can drive for ages and hardly see another person except maybe a shepherd with his sheep or goats.This is also where the green turtles come to lay their eggs but you must remember that these animals are a protected species.
Salamis:-
These are ancient ruins near Famagusta and include an amphi theatre and some lovely mosaic floors.
While your this side of the island and only 5 minutes drive from salamis you should also visit the tombs and also the very lovely St Barnabas monastery you can do all these in a day easily.
Vuni & Soli
These are more ruins but at the other end of the island near Lefke,to get here you will go through Guzelyurt this is the citrus fruit growing area with orange and lemon trees in abundance.
Soli has some very interesting old mosaics and a small amphi theatre while Vuni is the remains of an old Persian palace,the views from here are spectacular.
Castles:-
There are three main castles that we have visited they are Kantara,St Hilarion and the beautiful Kyrenia which overlooks the lovely old harbor with all it’s restaurants.All of these are well worth a visit although the first two are rather high up the mountains,don’t let this put you off because the views when you get there are breathtaking.
St Hilarion is unusual as it’s built into the mountain on 3 different levels and you need to be fit to reach the top.
While your at St Hilarion you should take the road marked koszin restaurant this is a fairly narrow road that will wind it’s way across the top of the mountain
but will give you some of the best photo shots of your holiday and will bring you out the other side of Lapta.

Holiday in Lapta
Beaches, etc. Around the Lapta....
Friends Beach (small - 10 mins walk opposite the turning on the main coastal road ) - food
LA – Opposite the LA hotel (10 mins walk) right at the main road (10 YLT for adults and 5 YLT for children) – food
Silver Rocks – Pool and sea (Snorkling) no beach – Fantastic food -4 minute drive turn head West on Coast Road on the right after a mile.
Sunset resort – Jet ski’s, etc.. 10 YLT entrance for Adults (Kids free)
Escape (10 min drive) turn left at the main road
‘Guzelyali Club’ - large beach with restaurants (turn left on the main road about a 10 min drive).
Karafaki, opposite Stone Grill restaurant – good when there is a Easterly wind (15 mins drive)
Horse shoe beach (pebble beach – lovely restaurant) - Food
Turtle Beach 20 to 30 min drive depending on traffic – East of Kyrenia on the Esentepe road- Food
Acapulko hotel complex (pools/beach/slide, etc.) just on the East side of Kyrenia on the road to Ensetepe (before turtle beach) food (10ylt for adults and 5 ylt children). This is a recommended trip.
Vogue beach complex - very near Acapulko
Golden Beach - 2 Hour + Karpas/Pan handle – see the wild donkey’s – well worth the drive – if you have plenty of time go via the Esentepe route otherwise go via Nicosia using the main roads (tip. When you see signs for Ercan airport come off, but go in the opposite direction to the airport. This is a very good road and will cut out Famagusta.
Salimis beaches – Near ruins (1+ hour) – See the ruins and then go for a swim
LA Beach and other beaches are run by a hotel/restaurant and as such they can ask a fee to use their equipment (no different than paying for a deck chair at Blackpool, etc.). However, if you go to the far left, in front of the Villas, there should be no problem. This is a common theme if you don’t use their sun beds, etc. there is no cost.
Turtle beach is well worth the journey. Try the second beach, i.e. go up the hill past the first turning and take the tarmac road on the left. This is generally more secluded.
In July/August/Sept you can visit the turtle project and see the release of baby turtles in late August/Sept.
If you find any other beaches, etc. then please let us know.
There are as mentioned 6 beach towels in the master bedroom wardrobes.
Trips
Just a few suggestions:-
Kyrenia –Harbour, Castle and shopping.
Bellapais Abbey – Beautiful ruin, restaurants and a few shops. Belly Dancer display and meal on a Sat night in the main restaurant.
Hilarion Castle. Not for the feint hearted. (There are another 2 castles)
A drive over the mountains (This is not for the feint hearted, but well worth the trip). There is a lovely restaurant called ‘Kazons’ at the Western end of the mountains.
A days boat trip going from bay to bay – The hotel will have details of a good boat.
Lefkosa/Nicosia – Ancient walled city and shops.
Trip to the South side - Nicosia

Pan Handle – Day trip to the tip of Cyprus, wild donkeys and stunning views.
Famagusta – shops and sightseeing. (Go via the mountain road East of Kyrenia/Girne – very spectacular views)

Activities
Fishing – There are a number of boats in Kyrenia Harbour (£40 per person for about 4 hours)

Water sports (Sunset Club – 5 minute drive) In the summer there are a number of places that provide various water sports (if you try them please tell us about your experience)
Horse Riding (details in tourist brochures/paper)
Walking (there are a number of people who organise at a cost walks in the mountains / woods). This is very much a winter stroke spring activity. There are a number of walks in the Mountains from Kozan’s restaurant (They are reasonable but wear good shoes/walking boots).
The wild flowers (April/May) are very spectacular. Apparently there are over 30 types of wild orchids that are not found anywhere else. There are a number people who organise trips to see them.
Golf – An 18 hole golf course near Ensentepe – (East of Kyrenia) – very impressive and apparently you can rent clubs.
Casino’s - You can (so we are told) go to the bigger ones along the coastal road, put a few coins in the machines and get free food, drink and entertainment.
Barber shop – go and try a hair cut / shave it is an amazing experience but tell them not to yank your head at the end!! I’m serious
Restaurants
Manolya hotel – Lapta – Walkable and has different events
Archway – Temlos Zeytinlik (Wonderful, reasonable and you will need to book)
Siver Rocks (West on Coast road and on the right after a few mins) Try the meze and a main meal.
The Saffron (Turn right (West) at the Coast Road 4 min drive on the Right)
Haci Ali – almost opposite the Saffron
Jasmine Hotel/Casino has an amazing meal and folk dance/belly dancer evening on Thursdays (45YLT for Adults half price for kids)
Ambience - Karaoglanoglu
Serenada Court – Lapta (Friendly)
The Corner - Alsancak
Chicken Kebab House - Girne not far from the main car park in a group of restaurants (Fantastic kebabs, very cheap) say Hi to Hazim for us.
Café de Paris (as above)
Patio – Girne/Kyrenia
Pegasos – Karaoglanoglu
Californian – Lefkosa /Nicosia (Very good quality)
Ezic Chicken – Girne – Try the new one near the new road. Drive along the main road and take the bypass to Lefkosa (Nicosia) the restaurant is on the left.
Severn – Karaoglanoglu
We have eaten at all the above and would recommend them all. Some are very reasonable and some more pricey. There is a comprehensive list in the Cyprus Times. There are numerous restaurants within a short drive or walk. If you find a good place to eat then please tells us about it. Finally, some Restaurants do change hands quickly here so the above is just a guide no more no less.
