The Region
Like most of the areas of North Eastern Cyprus Iskele is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The region offers some of the finest beaches in the whole of Cyprus and indeed some judge that the golden beaches of the Karpaz peninsular are amongst the finest in Europe if not the world. The clean clear waters that wash against the golden sandy beaches attract endangered species of green sea turtles that return every year to nest, so conservation and protection of the environment is of a high priority in this region. In addition there is an amazing diversification of wild life and migratory birds making your time spent here a truly unique experience. It is a peaceful and quiet place where one can bond with nature, imagine spending the whole day on a wonderful sandy beach swimming in crystal clear waters and even camping overnight to see the sea turtles come ashore and lay their eggs. And it is highly likely that you will not see another person for the whole time! Imagine that you are living within an easy 20-30 minute drive away from such a place? It is hard to resist once you have visited this area so come and see for yourself
The Village
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. It is also the birthplace of the Greek EOKA leader Georgios Grivas. 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 it is within a 35 minute drive to Ercan airport and only 20 minutes from Famagusta. Close by is Iskele beach a long stretch of sandy beach within a 5 minute drive. 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 restaurants within the boundaries of the village as well as in Bogaz.
