North Cyprus. The Mediterranean of old

greenislandholidays.com® 020 7637 7338

With 300 sunny days a year and a spectacular Mediterranean landscape, it’s no surprise that this is the island where romance still reigns supreme. Think quiet beaches and rugged mountains peppered with medieval castles and monasteries. Unspoilt villages where the clocks seem to have stopped. And such vibrant harbour towns as Kyrenia which still retain the charm and colour of Mediterranean ports of old. All nestled in beautiful countryside and craggy coastlines harbouring resorts both charming and magnificent in turn. North Cyprus more than fulfills the holiday cliché of ‘something for everyone’ and Green Island Holidays has recognised this by selecting carefully handpicked hotels worth packing your evening dress and dinner suit for. The resorts in this brochure give a taste of this unspoilt island while enjoying the affordable luxury that these establishments offer. There’s a lot to discover in this sun-baked corner of the Mediterranean. Explore archaeological treasures dating back to the Bronze Age and those bestowed on the island by its Roman, Byzantine and Venetian heritage, such as the 16th-century walls in Lefkos¸a with its many original coffee shops and old travellers inn. Other medieval treasures and relics crying out to be explored include the fairytale castle of St Hilarion and the atmospheric ruins of Bellapais Abbey in the Bes¸parmak or ‘Five Finger’ Mountains. Nature-lovers will also enjoy the orange groves of Lefke and the long sandy beaches of the Karpaz Peninsula, home to nesting loggerhead turtles. The options are endless. There’s no-one better than Green Island Holidays to help you make the most of this magical land. With our wealth of inside knowledge, specially chosen hotels and personal service, we offer everything you need to enjoy the very best of North Cyprus – the way the Mediterranean used to be.

Dubbed the ‘island of love’ for being the home of the mythical goddess, Aphrodite, Cyprus also has a rich cultural history bursting with multi-layered antiquity. The earliest people are believed to have settled here 9000 years ago, quickly followed by the Phoenicians, Persians and Egyptians, all of whom recognised the island’s vital strategic position between East and West. Cyprus was annexed to Rome in the sixth century BC, opening the door to Christianity and by the time of the fourth century AD the island was in the grip of the eastern Byzantine Empire. Remnants of the Byzantine era are still evident today, most notably in the name ‘Five Finger Mountains’. Legend has it that a Byzantine hero leapt onto Cyprus from Turkey, leaving his fingerprints as the jagged mountainscapes. After Richard the Lionheart conquered Cyprus in 1191, the French and Venetians ruled until 1571, when the Ottomans took over. They governed the island until ceding it to Britain in 1925. In 1960 the UN declared it independent and in 1983, it was divided into two with the proclamation of the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. Culturally, the Turkish Cypriot way of life is rooted in family and hospitality. Guests are greeted into homes with sweets and Turkish coffee – a ritual reflected in the warm welcome proffered at hotels and restaurants. Turkish customs dominate elsewhere too. Locals puff on water pipes (‘nargile’) and play ‘tavlı’ – backgammon – in village coffee houses, while local events are celebrated with Anatolian-style folk-dances, usually accompanied by ‘fasıl’, traditional Turkish lute or fiddle music. Finally, wherever you go, you’ll see the turquoise blue ‘nazar boncug˘u’ or evil-eye beads which originate from Anatolia and are believed to ward off evil looks. You’ll see them everywhere – decorating cars, hanging over doors and draped inside houses.

History and culture. A land where the past lives on

Food and eating out. All part of the magic

greenislandholidays.com® 020 7637 7338

Food is one of the greatest pleasures awaiting visitors to North Cyprus. From skewers of kebabs at country lokantas to fine dining beside the lapping waters of the Mediterranean, the region serves up a fabulous choice of culinary experiences. Although the food is mostly Turkish, Cyprus’s position at the crossroads of Asia and Europe means it draws on eclectic influences, from Ottoman, Balkan and Greek cuisine to Jewish and central Asian cooking styles. The result is a beguiling fusion of East and West that extends far beyond kebabs and hummus. One of the things you’ll notice is how healthy and flavoursome the food is. The locals substitute animal fats with olive oil, using it with plenty of fresh fish, fruit and vegetables, alongside barbecuing and grilling to ensure dishes are bursting with flavour, colour and goodness. Breakfast is regarded as the most important meal of the day. A typical morning starts with everything from freshly baked bread and sliced tomatoes and cucumber to spicy ‘sucuk’ sausage, boiled eggs and fruit. For lunch and dinner, meanwhile, the focus falls on fresh meat or fish kebabs, grilled ‘köfte’ meatballs and more of those crisp salads. Desserts, meanwhile, aren’t just about ‘baklava’. Healthier favourites include ‘sütlaç’ – a low-fat rice pudding – and platters of fresh fruit accompanied by rich Turkish coffee. Wherever you are, ‘mezes’ usually top the menu. These scrumptious hors d’oeuvres can include anything from grilled halloumi cheese to piles of hummus, feta-filled pastries and other nibbles. You’ll find a tantalising choice of restaurants across the region too. Kyrenia has the widest variety, from kebab houses and Mediterranean-style cafés to gourmet restaurants, pizzerias and Chinese and Indian eateries. In Bellapais, meanwhile, many restaurants boast terraces overlooking the famous abbey. For the most authentic local dishes, though, head into the countryside. Here you’ll come across family-run lokantas preparing classics like kebabs and mezes to time-honoured recipes.

North Cyprus is a region of variety and contrasts in cultures, landscapes and experiences. If you want to make the most of your stay there, why not consider the pleasures of enjoying two different resorts in one trip? If you like the sophisticated, lively atmosphere of a pretty harbour town, yet also enjoy the tranquility of gazing out over golden sands, a multi-centre holiday in North Cyprus is for you. All the quality establishments in this brochure can be combined into one trip for the ultimate holiday experience.

Your holiday could start off at Kyrenia’s finest and most elegant hotel, The Colony, or at the glamorous Rocks Hotel – both just a stone’s throw away from the historical town’s beautiful quayside. While the charming family-run Pia Bella is conveniently located within walking distance of Kyrenia harbour. Then move on further along the coast for a stay in Famagusta, a region of North Cyprus renowned for its glorious beaches, with resorts including the luxurious Arkin Palm Beach, majestic Kaya Artemis Resort Hotel and the deluxe Noah’s Ark establishment, for a winning combination of culture and history and the Mediterranean island’s sunny beach life.

After your mountain hideaway, you could go on to enjoy the facilities at the laid-back Denizkızı Royal set on a sandy beach or the impressive Vuni Palace, both outside of Kyrenia, or enjoy the lively and all-inclusive Salamis Bay Hotel fronting one of Famagusta’s many golden amber beaches. The choice is yours...

North Cyprus’s most picturesque harbour town, brimming with life and culture…

Kyrenia

A delightful coastal town in North Cyprus, Kyrenia is focused around its crescent-shaped harbour bobbing with boats and overlooked by a spectacular castle with Byzantine origins, containing a shipwreck museum. The town’s other attractions include the nearby Crusader castle of St Hilarion said to have inspired Disney’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’, a number of interesting churches and museums and 4th-century rock-cut tombs.

The narrow cobbled streets behind the harbour are a delight to explore as are the town’s boutiques, markets and local cafes. As the day comes to a close a promenade along the sea wall at sunset is a must, as the eateries lining the waterfront lay their tables out for a night of fine dining. For those always on the go, the town has a good nightlife scene after a day of sailing, paragliding or swimming.

For the best beaches in North Cyprus and a laid-back harbourside town…

Famagusta

With the deepest harbour in North Cyprus, Famagusta is popular for its expanse of sandy beaches, historical walled city and sea-front restaurants with fine dining and stunning views, serving fish as a speciality.

Famagusta has some of the finest examples of medieval architecture in the eastern Mediterranean with lots of interesting sights in this open-air museum of a town. Do find the time to explore the imposing walls of the old city and ‘Othello’s Tower’, medieval St Nicholas Cathedral (now the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque), the

greenislandholidays.com® 020 7637 7338

Cathedral of St George of the Greeks with its old frescoes and the ruins of the old Royal Palace. Hire a car to explore beyond the town itself and discover the Karpaz Peninsula’s deserted beaches, the well-preserved Graeco-Roman city of Salamis, buried for centuries beneath sand and today one of the best preserved sites in the Mediterranean, and the St Barnabas Monastery and its icon museum.

The locals of Famagusta love shopping as you’ll discover from the many stores and small artisan shops in the old city as well as the stores, cafés and restaurants all over the town. As it was for the traders of centuries ago, trade and shopping are part of the essence of a visit to Famagusta. While there, make sure to look out for ‘lefkara’, the island’s traditional lacework.

Flights. Flexible durations from 18 destinations

greenislandholidays.com® 020 7637 7338

Flights from 18 cities across the UK and Ireland 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

We believe that a great flight can make all the difference to your holiday. That’s why we offer a range of flights and routes to North Cyprus and Turkey, so you can choose the most convenient option and arrive feeling great.

Fly via Turkey Take the time-honoured route to North Cyprus by flying to North Cyprus’s Ercan airport via Turkey. Your flight includes a 40-minute courtesy touchdown in Turkey, with no need to change aircraft, so you can remain seated throughout the stop. And although the flying time to Ercan is longer than Larnaca, transfer times are shorter – expect a 40-minute or so journey from the airport to either Kyrenia or Famagusta.

Via Larnaca Heading for North Cyprus? Fly direct and non-stop to Larnaca from any of 18 main and regional UK and Irish airports, with flight times of 4 to 4.5 hours. Enjoy comfortable, air conditioned group transfers between Larnaca and

Belfast International Birmingham International Bristol Cardiff Doncaster Sheffield Dublin International East Midlands Exeter Glasgow International

10. Humberside 11. Leeds Bradford 12. Liverpool 13. London Gatwick 14. London Heathrow 15. London Stansted 16. Luton International 17. Manchester 18. Newcastle

Kyrenia. Or take things even easier with private transfers between Larnaca and Kyrenia – travelling in your own air-conditioned car. See page 85 for more information and flight times.

Fly to Istanbul for a two‑centre holiday If you’re taking a two-centre holiday, we offer scheduled flights from Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham to Istanbul. Transfers to the city centre take approx. 45 minutes. After three or four days in Istanbul, you will then transfer to Alaçatı, Bodrum, or North Cyprus for the remainder of your holiday. On your return, your luggage is checked in to your f inal destination in the UK, helping to ensure a smooth transit at Istanbul. Alternatively, take a Pegasus Airlines f light from London Stansted to Istanbul, a 90-minute transfer (not included) away from the city centre.

Important information Brochure detail and descriptions

In accordance with the Package Travel Regulations 1992, we reserve the right to make changes to the particulars of this brochure after publication. This brochure is valid from 1 November 2012. The descriptions of destinations and hotels have been compiled following inspections by ourselves or our suppliers and have been checked to ensure they are accurate at time of publication. Our descriptions represent a subjective evaluation by Green Island Holidays staff who attempt to convey the style and atmosphere of the destinations and hotels we feature. Changes do occur after publication therefore it is important to check with us at time of booking.

Room description

Most properties in our brochure offer a selection of twin and double-bedded accommodation. Although units may be described as ‘twin’, they will be provided according to availability. If you have a specific preference for twin or double beds, or would prefer single-level accommodation, we will endeavour to meet these requirements; however, it is vital that you inform us at the time of booking. Please note that where we provide details of guest room facilities in the brochure, we cannot guarantee that all rooms will be equipped with all of these.

Hotel ratings and facilities

Accommodation in North Cyprus is not graded by international star ratings and therefore cannot be compared to the rest of Europe. The North Cyprus ratings in our brochure are given as a guide only for you to make the correct accommodation choice as they are not official ratings and are based primarily on evaluation and feedback. Please be aware that changes to facilities may occur after the date of publication. There may be occasions, particularly in low season, when facilities may be withdrawn or changed. Green Island Holidays are not responsible for this as these decisions are taken locally and are dependent upon conditions prevailing at the time; however every reasonable effort will be made by us to advise you if any facility is not available during your stay.

Disabled clients and requests

We are happy to advise disabled clients and to assist them when choosing their holiday and we will do our best to meet their needs. If you or any member of your party has any medical condition or disability which may affect your holiday or has any special requirements as a result of any medical condition or disability (including any that affect the booking process), we must be informed at the time of enquiry and then in writing before you confirm your booking so that we can assist you in considering the suitability of the arrangements and/or making the booking. We must also be informed in writing whenever any change in the condition or disability occurs. If we are not notified of the specific requirements of the disabled person, we regret that we cannot accept any liability if accommodation or holiday does not meet the expectations of the client. For any special requests such as ground floor rooms or dietary requirements; we will pass your request on to the

supplier in question but we cannot guarantee that your request will be met unless we have specifically confirmed this for you.

Local holidays

During local or national holidays, certain facilities such as museums or shops may be limited. Such events are regrettably beyond our control. However, when we are told of significant changes, we will inform you at the time of the booking; or, if you’ve already booked your holiday you will be contacted as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure.

What’s local life like?

As Mediterranean hospitality is renowned worldwide you can expect a warm and friendly welcome in Turkey and North Cyprus. Locals tend to be laid back and things can often take a little longer then we’re used to. During the summer season in North Cyprus it’s not unusual to see locals taking their midday siesta, while in the main resorts some shops may close between 1pm and 3pm and then stay open until late giving everyone the chance to relax on a hot summer afternoon. Banks and government offices are shut on public holidays and you may find that other services are limited on these days. Restaurants, bars and shops on beach resorts do not tend to close on these days.

Important note about duty‑free purchases

Passengers travelling from Ercan in North Cyprus on flights involving an aircraft change in Istanbul should refrain from duty-free liquid purchases at Ercan as they are liable to be confiscated in Istanbul. We suggest that duty-free purchases are made in Istanbul.

What’s the weather like?

Summers are hot and warm in Turkey and North Cyprus and it is almost completely rainless in North Cyprus from May to about mid-November, with the weather being consistent on a day-to-day basis with very little cloud cover. During the winter bad weather rarely lasts more than a day. The average daily hours of sunshine ranges from six hours midwinter to 12 or 13 in midsummer. For those who find high temperatures unpleasant the best time to visit North Cyprus is in the spring when it’s generally sunny and warm and the island is full of flowers.

please look out for the Green Island Holidays sign or your name(s) on a board. Your representative will advise you one day before your departure about the pick-up time for the return journey. If you are on a two-centre holiday most of our guests make their own way to and from the hotel in Istanbul. We recommend an official taxi for this or finding out about alternative transport by enquiring at the information desk at the airport. All British nationals travelling to Turkey will need to pay for £10 for a visa on entry which should be purchased as soon as you arrive before proceeding to passport control.

When will I get my travel documents?

Upon booking, we will send your ATOL certificate (booking confirmation invoice). Travel documents are sent out within 10 days of departure. Please check that the names and details are correct on all your documents as failure to do so can incur charges, as well as refusal for boarding at the aircraft. Documents for online bookings will be sent by email.

Health & EHIC card

At the time of going to press no compulsory vaccinations are required for Turkey and North Cyprus. Medical regulations are updated from time to time, so we advise you to consult your doctor before departure in case the Department of Health considers any inoculations necessary. As a UK resident you can apply for an EHIC card (formerly known as an E111) entitling you to some medical treatment at certain hospitals at a reduced or no cost when temporarily visiting an EU country. You can apply for a card free of charge via www.ehic.org. uk or by calling 0845 606 2030. An application form is also available from the Post Office. It is of course essential that you take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover you for any medical emergencies.

What’s driving like in North Cyprus and Turkey?

The local currency in North Cyprus and Turkey is the Turkish Lira. Sterling and Euros can be exchanged or are accepted in most establishments although banks and exchange bureaus may give a more favourable rate. Credit cards are widely used in all the resorts that we offer, alternatively cash machines can be found in town centres for cash withdrawals in the local currency direct from your bank account. Scottish and Irish bank notes are NOT accepted in Turkey and North Cyprus.

Driving in North Cyprus is a pleasure: cars drive on the left, traffic is very light and in some cases nonexistent and parking is not too restricted. While taxis are readily available and reasonably priced, public transport can be unreliable. So, hiring a car is highly recommended if you’d like to explore the many attractions of North Cyprus. Green Island Holidays have partnered with a number of highly reputable firms in North Cyprus and we can offer car hire, at the time of booking, for as little as £18 per day. If you decide to hire a car while you’re on the island, just speak to your rep who will be happy to help. Please remember that you will need to have your UK driving licence with you. Cars drive on the right in Turkey. Driving there can be more chaotic, especially in Istanbul, whereas public transport is excellent and very reasonable. Taxis are also a very popular mode of transport as all are now metered.

Booking conditions Payment

A deposit of £75 per person must be paid and sent with a completed, signed booking form together with the appropriate insurance premium if required. In some cases, a higher booking deposit is required to cover nonrefundable airline tickets. On receipt of your booking form we will issue a confirmation invoice as soon as your full itinerary is confirmed. The total cost of your holiday is payable to us no later than 10 weeks prior to departure. If the balance remains unpaid after this date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and retain the deposit paid. Any money paid by a customer to a travel agent in respect of a booking with Lorenz Voyager Travel Limited is held by the agent on behalf of Lorenz Voyager Travel Limited.

Late bookings

Bookings received by us 10 weeks or less prior to departure are deemed to be late bookings. When you make a definite booking through your travel agent or by telephone directly with us, you must pay the total cost of the booking at that time. Should you subsequently cancel the reservation made you will be subject to cancellation charges detailed in “Cancellation by the client”. A late booking may be accepted by us either by telephone or by the issuing of a confirmation invoice.

Alteration by the client

Lorenz Voyager Travel Limited & its agents will do their utmost, but cannot guarantee to comply with any request for alteration to a booking. An amendment fee of £30 per person will be applied. Please note that any amendment made after tickets have been issued will be treated as a cancellation and will attract a minimum charge of £180 per person.

Cancellation by the client

Cancellation of your holiday must be notified to us in writing. The cancellation charges depend upon when your written notice is received and will be levied as follows. Note: Certain travel arrangements (e.g. ADVANCE PURCHASE TICKETS) cannot be changed once the reservation has been confirmed and a 100% cancellation charge will be incurred.

If the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph occur before the customer’s departure, the company undertakes to offer the customer alternative arrangements, or, if this is not acceptable, a full refund of all monies paid. We plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance and although it is unlikely that we have to make any changes to confirmed arrangements, it does occasionally happen. Most changes are of a minor nature and we will advise you (or your travel agent) at the earliest possible date. Should we have to cancel a tour, holiday or other travel arrangements as a result of hostilities, political unrest, or other circumstances amounting to force majeure, we will inform you or your travel agent without delay and will offer an alternative holiday of at least comparable standard, if available, or a prompt and full refund of all monies paid. Any such refunds will be sent to agents within 10 clear days or

direct to clients within 14 clear days. Should we be forced to cancel your holiday for any reason other than force majeure or non-payment of an outstanding balance, the company, in addition to refunding all monies paid, will pay compensation ompensation as per the following paragraph.

If we change your holiday

If a major change becomes necessary, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as is reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. A major change is one that we make to your holiday arrangements before departure that involves changing your airport(s) except Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, Gatwick, resort area or time of departure or return by more than 12 hours, or offering accommodation with a lower rating. You will then have a choice of either: A. Accepting the changed arrangements as notified to you B. Purchasing another available holiday from us C. Cancelling your holiday If you choose A or B, we will pay compensation on the scale shown below. If you choose C, we will refund all monies paid to us. In no case will we pay compensation if the change is due to an event listed in “Important Notice” below.
