You will be guided through the walled city of Nicosia, The Mevlevi Museum, Samanbahce Houses, Venetian Column, Dervis Pasa Mansion, The Great Inn (Buyuk Han), Selimiye Mosque, Bedesten, Lapidary Museum, Eaved House, Arasta and many other historical landmarks. |
| Flora & Fauna | Due to its climate and geographic position, as well as relatively unpolluted environment, the island has a varied wildlife. It hosts up to 1,600 kinds of plants, 350 species of birds, and 26 different reptile and amphibian species. From February to June Northern Cyprus is covered by different kinds of flowers with orchids to be the most extravagant species from all. In spring and summer the island is 'invaded' by about 300 species of birds. From July till August the Green Sea Turtle and the Loggerhead Sea Turtle visit the beaches of Cyprus to lay their eggs (further information from Turkishcyprus.com). |
| Turtle Watching/Hatching | An invitation goes out to everyone to come down to view the excavations, we meet at the Goatshed (HQ), Alagadi for 5:30pm where we will take you down to the nest from there. No flash photography can be used during the excavation as not only does it potentially damage the eye sight of the hatchlings but will also show up the grubbiness of the volunteers!
If you would like to give us a call on the morning that you are hoping to see an excavation to see whether we have one on, please feel free to on: 05338798533.Also see http://www.cyprusturtles.org/ This is a must for children and an experience they will never forget!!
