Located on the Nicosia to Guzelyurt road. 15ytl (£6) for 10mins. Great Fun!! Click here to see the winners rostrum!!

The tour, on foot, begins outside the tourist information office (Kyrenia Gate) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays starting at 10:30am. 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 & FaunaDue 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).
