We should say that Cyprus is a beautiful island in the eastern Mediterranean that attracts hundreds of thousands tourists all year round.

Northern Cyprus ticks all the boxes for a get away from it all holiday, all while experiencing a different and vibrant culture.

There are bus services operating between the cities and larger villages but they don't serve all the major tourist resorts. Buses are not run by one company, different routes are leased from the local authority so they look different in appearance, but you can tell it's a bus as the destination is placed in the front! To catch one you can wait at the bus stop or flag one down on the main road.
