The Geography...
|
|
The geography of North Cyprus is characterized by a unique blend of mountains, plains, and beaches. The Kyrenia (Five
Finger) range, with its magnificent jagged limestone peaks, the highest of which is Mount Icova at 3,357 ft. runs along
most of the northern coastline from a startling backdrop. To the east of the island the mountain range loses height as
it extends along the narrow peninsula known as Karpas, or more affectionately, "The Panhandle". It is here that the best
beaches of Cyprus can be found, long wide empty bays of the purest sand that strech for miles. To the south of the Kyrenia
range lies Leskosa, the capital of Republic, through which runs the boundary, or as it is called "The Green Line"
separating the North from South Cyprus. The other major centers are the tourist resorts of Magusa, Girne, and the citrus
center of Güzelyurt.
