The Region
The Famagusta region of Northern Cyprus has so much to offer. From the fascinating old walled city with its numerous shops, restaurants and bars then driving north past the ruins of ancient Salamis passing miles of sandy beaches coming to the picturesque fishing harbour at Bogaz and then onwards to the magnificent Karpaz peninsula where some exciting developments are taking place firstly at Bafra with 15 new themed hotels under construction and then on to the Karpaz Gate Marina. All this and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, yes, the Famagusta region seems to offer everything.
The Area
The village of Iskele, or to give it it’s correct name, Yeni Iskele, (New Iskele), is where the Turkish Cypriots from the district of Iskele in Larnaca were relocated in 1975. In the centre of the village is the single domed church and to the west there is the Icon Museum which houses a small collection of 12th to 15th century wall paintings. The people of Iskele are a mixture of local Cypriots, British born Cypriots and expatriates. The village holds an annual festival where dancers from all over the world perform. It is a good sized village with all amenities you should need close to hand. Close by is Iskele Beach a long stretch of sandy beach within a 5 minute drive. This is largely an unspoilt area and just begging to be discovered! Bogaz Harbour is less than ten minutes away and then you have the whole of the Karpaz peninsula to explore, pretty much at your doorstep. There are a number of good quality restaurants within the boundaries of the village as well as in Bogaz
You will find the most beautiful sandy beaches located at Long Beach with restaurants and beach bars. The world heritage sites of Salamis and Saint Barnabas are also less than 2 miles away and a 15 minutes drive take you into the historic town of Famagusta and just a 10 minutes away is the picturesque harbour at Bogaz. The wonders of the Karpaz lay just a further 30 minutes drive away, an ideal area to explore with its wealth of wildlife and magnificent sandy beaches.
