The Unspoiled Tip of the Island

We set off in our luxury and comfortable vehicle towards the very tip of the Cyprus Peninsula, the Karpaz Peninsula (The Panhandle). This tour offers both a cultural and a natural feast, leaving you utterly captivated by the azure sea, the miles of fine sandy beaches, and its pristine, unspoiled nature.
