By Tim Martins | November 13, 2008
North Cyprus is a neutral country when it comes to religion and you will find a very cosmopolitan mixture in this region of Cyprus. The island of Cyprus is the 3rd largest throughout the Mediterranean coming after Sardinia and Sicily, and it is situated at 65 km south of Turkey. There are several other countries in this region including Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Israel and Greece.
!974 was the year when Cyprus had to be split into 2 halves leaving the Turkish Cypriots in the North and the Greek Cypriots in the south. In the North of Cyprus you will find virtually the lowest property prices in the Mediterranean as well as cheaper rentals.
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.
There are in fact 2 capes being the Zafer Cape; which is situated on the tip of the Karpaz peninsula, and the Korucam Cape which is found in the west of the island. There are also 2 gulfs located in Guzelyurt and Famagusta and with such beautiful natural scenery, North Cyprus has become a very popular tourist destination filling up the villa rental homes throughout the year.

Fortunately there are many North Cyprus villas in the region so you will able to benefit from cheap accommodation and fantastic panoramic views.
The northern part of the island is lush with vegetation and hosts many varieties of trees and plants including olive trees and carob trees.
