The coastal region of North Cypress is filled with clean, white sandy beaches while further inland are mountains covered with fragrant orange and olive groves.

The island of Cyprus is divided into north and south – the northern portion of the island (North Cyprus) is also known as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The capital of both the North and South Cyprus is Nicosia. “The green line”, or the buffer zone, which is controlled by the United Nations, divides Nicosia, separating the Turks of Northern Cyprus from the Greeks of Southern Cypress. Nicosia is made up of a combination of historic building and modern building and offices.
