Walking in North Cyprus

The perfect way for keen ramblers and nature-lovers to explore the landscape and flora and fauna of this beautiful part of the island

 

Spring starts early in North Cyprus and is the perfect time to explore the island, when the flowers are in bloom and the mountainsides are a beautiful, verdant green. There are some 32 species of orchid which grow here and are native to North Cyprus. The orchids come into flower as early as February and the season continues through to late April or early May.

The foothills of the Five Finger Mountains are perfect for keen ramblers, and it is essential to avoid the heat of summer. Wild flowers grow here all year round, from crimson poppies to vibrant anemones and crocuses. Perhaps one of the best known of Cyprus’s flowers is the Medos tulip ( Tulipa Cypria ) which is endemic to the island. Cyprus is also famous for its fruit, including olives, carob, date palms and citrus fruit.

For those who want to explore the foothills of the Five Finger Mountains, we offer a 7 day walking tour, based in the hillside Bellapais Monastery Village, a short walk from the village of Bellapais.
