So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

North Cyprus Villas - The Different Side Of Cyprus

By Tim Martins

As far as religion is concerned, North Cyprus remains neutral and this has developed it into a very cosmopolitan region. After Sardinia and Sicily, Cyprus is the 3rd largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and it can be positioned at about 65 km south of Turkey. Other countries close by to Cyprus include Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Israel and Greece.

In 1974 Cyprus was divided into 2 countries with the Turkish Cypriots living on the north and the Greek Cypriots in the south. Real estate tends to be a lot more cheaper in the North than anywhere else in the Mediterranean Sea, so you will always be able to find a bargain there or a cheap rental.

The island's present shape is formed mainly because of the side pressures formed during different geological ages. 'Capes' have been formed where the land has strength against the erosion of the sea and 'Gulfs' have been formed where the land was weaker and so gave way to erosion.

Cyprus in fact hides 2 capes called the Zafer cape which is located on the edge of the Karpaz peninsular and then there is the Korucam Cape on the western side of the island. You will also find 2 gulfs which are found in Guzelyurt and Famagusta so you can imagine the real beauty that North Cyprus has to offer, and this is one of the main reasons for it having become one of Europe's top holiday destinations. You will find that there aren't many vacancies in the North Cyprus holiday rental villas throughout the year.

The most prominent feature of North Cyprus is the range of mountains situated in the northern region, known as the Kyrenia Mountains, or Five Finger Mountains. It is a narrow range and is approximately 130 km long. It runs parallel to the coastline and occupies an area of about 260 sq km. This range is composed predominately of limestone, dolomite, and marble. Many North Cyprus Villas can be found to be located around this range. These villas allow one to view the beauty around and they are economical too.

The northern coast is very fertile and lies home to great vegetation including olive and carob trees. There is also a large natural spring in the Five Finger mountain region which also has great access from the North Cyprus villas. The villas themselves hold great views of the Mesaoria plain, which is found in the centre of the island between the Kyrenia and the Troodos mountain ranges.

You will find North Cyprus villas located on the northern and eastern coast lines which truly have a great advantage point when it comes to views of the blue Mediterranean waters. You will find small coves and bays along this stretch of coast where both swimming and sunbathing can be enjoyed to a maximum. If you aren't really a beach person then don't worry as the North Cyprus Villas also offer private Swimming pools.

So as you can see North Cyprus really does mark the difference when it comes to staying in holiday rental villas with such splendid views, places of interest and a mild climate throughout the year. Don't waste any more time looking at holiday destinations and come and explore the different side of Cyprus with North Cyprus villas.
