Here holiday apartments in Famagusta and Kyrenia can be found in this relatively undeveloped region of the country that boasts a truly Mediterranean atmosphere and dramatic mountain scenery and coastal plains.

Kyrenia, on the northern coast, is one of the best coastal resorts on the whole island with a castle originally built in Roman times and now housing a museum and stunning Byzantine chapel.

So, for lovers of ancient history and architecture, beautiful landscapes and sandy beaches, Northern Cyprus is the perfect holiday destination.

The Cypriot climate is predominantly dry for most of the year, with unpredictable rains during the winter months from December to March.

The summers are very hot, so the most pleasant time to visit would be during April and May or September and October, but many people book their self catering holiday villas, cottages and apartments in Cyprus all year round.

As Cyprus has always been an island, many of its plant species are found nowhere else in the world. Unfortunately much of the native flora and fauna has been displaced by tourism, but the best places to see wildlife are the mountainous areas of the country, particularly if you choose to rent a holiday villa in northern Cyprus, where griffon vultures and sea turtles can be found.

Cyprus has a rich European and Middle-Eastern cultural heritage with reminders of the country's history scattered across the whole island.

Remains of ancient Greek temples and Roman mosaics rub shoulders with frescoed monasteries, influencing the pottery, tapestries and other art forms of the island.

Self catering apartments and villa rentals in Cyprus have so much to offer holiday-makers, old and young alike although some would say there are even more advantages to be gained from choosing one of the bed and breakfasts in Cyprus.

From the peace and tranquility of ancient, historic villages to lively coastal resorts, holiday apartments and villas in Cyprus can be found to suit your every requirement - apartments in Famagusta showing you a location where all these different aspects can be enjoyed without having to go much further than your own front door.
