VisitiNg North Cyprus is oNe of the Closest experieNCes to steppiNg iN a time maChiNe you’ll haVe. oVerlooked by the
wise old kyreNia mouNtaiNs there is Very muCh a feeliNg that Nature is the maiN preseNCe iN this beautiful part of the
mediterraNeaN.
it has seen so much history pass through its barely changed landscapes, still dusty and sleepy in the warm, laid back atmosphere. the quiet almond
beaches of the karpaz peninsula breathe blankets of sand in gentle breezes while the turquoise sea whispers intangible thoughts, everything a spirit that
is fragmented with the past alongside the contemplative present.
the marks left behind from humankind throughout the centuries remains as charismatic company to the scenery, places such as the salamis ruins a way
to connect with lives very distant from our own.
add to such a unique atmosphere the dimension of comforting luxuries, such as delicious cuisine, trailing its welcoming aromas throughout the streets
that are scattered with silhouettes of fellow wanderers. sociable bars, exciting activities, unique wild life and friendly locals all help to make North Cyprus
a place easy to find both wonder and happiness in. with the most comprehensive range of holiday options, award-winning direct traveller is the tour
operator to show you the very best of North Cyprus.

siNCe 2003, wheN Cyprus was positioNed to eNter the europeaN uNioN, the borders betweeN North aNd south opeNed.
direct traveller recognised the opportunities presented by this historic development, and is proud to have been the very first tour operator to launch
holidays in North Cyprus using direct flights to larnaca in the south.
with a short and hassle-free airport transfer to your chosen resort, this is a convenient and popular option for our clients. direct traveller was not only the
pioneer, but today remains the leading tour operator in providing North Cyprus holidays. our innovative approach has undoubtedly made beautiful North
Cyprus more accessible than ever before. our experience and knowledge in this area has proved so successful, and this route has become so popular
since we introduced it, that it has contributed to building our long-standing reputation as the leading tour operator to North Cyprus.
fly direct & Non-stop
we understand that your holiday begins with your flight, and to make sure your journey gets off to the best possible start, we now fly you direct to larnaca
from 15 uk departure airports- with a choice of over 100 flight routes for your convenience. regardless of your geographic location, whether you live in
the city suburbs of england or the rural highlands of scotland, direct traveller will make North Cyprus accessible to you.
most departure airports to larnaca offer flexible options, with a selection of scheduled and charter flights. transfer times from larnaca to kyrenia are
approximately ninety minutes, whilst those to famagusta are even shorter at just under an hour.
direct traveller also offers flights from bournemouth, doncaster, exeter, edinburgh and leeds bradford to paphos airport; so you can depart even more
locally to your home. this makes the number of Cyprus bound airports we depart from 17 in 2013. paphos flights are also direct, but transfer times are
longer than those from ercan or larnaca.

the more conventional route to North Cyprus is to fly to ercan airport, with flights touching down in turkey for approximately 40 minutes. Note: with us,
there is no change of aircraft required while you remain seated during the courtesy touchdown. although the flight time to ercan is slightly longer than
the flight time to larnaca, transfer times from ercan airport to kyrenia and famagusta are only approximately forty minutes.

north cyprus
North Cyprus may be small, but it’s still burstiNg with persoNality!
there’s a whole plethora of colourful culture for visitors to experience, in between losing your stresses to the alluring landscapes of sandy coves and
crystalline waters that wink in the sun.
Cuisine
food is often a reflection of the spirit with which cultures have grown and live. when it comes to North Cyprus, this is certainly true, their cuisine
representing the local’s kind, patient and welcoming nature. exploring the towns you’ll see cosy scenes of couples and families sharing mezze platters,
or wanderers taking a break in authentic cafes, drinking turkish coffee whilst watching over a game of backgammon. meals here provide the chance to
mingle with others, share stories and most importantly, to relax.
mediterranean food is traditionally full of flavour, rich in seasoning, salt and olive oil. dishes such as fresh fish and salads accompany the warm
atmosphere perfectly, with the sound of the sea whooshing gently in the background. mezze appetizers provide a sociable and exciting pallet of tastes,
including large green olives, seasoned yoghurts and grilled halloumi cheese that is bathed in brine and has an addictive squeaky texture. popular foods
such as the kebab show the diversity and internationally inspired origins of many of the dishes, and offer a hearty snack for meat lovers. both sweet and
savoury pastries are popular, filled with vibrant varieties of flavour amid a crumbly filo exterior. emphasis is truly on the sweet though, so prepare yourself
for a desert that most likely won’t hold back on the syrup, sugar and honey! post meal you can choose to wind down with some coffee or perhaps a
tipple of local brandy: Zivaniya. North Cyprus cuisine is a big part of animating the atmosphere, and making guests feel settled and acquainted with the
culture. the fruitful Cypriot environment means that most ingredients taste fresh and full of heart, grown and detailed with flavour by the locals that gives
that inviting home cooked feel to them. towns such as guzelyurt in particular are renowned for their many markets selling fresh fruit and vegetables,
while harbour villages such as bogaz are perfect for trying some seafood. kyrenia has the largest choice in restaurants, but anywhere you visit you are
guaranteed to find a unique and friendly dining experience.
Nightlife
being such a tranquil environment you may not expect much from the North Cyprus nightlife, and it is true that if you’re hoping for some ibiza inspired
non-stop partying you’ll probably be disappointed. this does not mean that there is nothing to do however, with many opportunities to keep you
entertained as night falls.
the scene in the evenings is one of extended relaxation, with café’s and bars offering candle lit dining or a warm and inviting environment lulled with
atmospheric music. whilst slow paced and peaceful there is still a lively pulse that carries the streets at night. this is due to the sociable nature of
travellers and locals mingling, inspired and excited by the beautiful mediterranean ambience cast over the scenery. you can venture to bars or go for
strolls beside the harbour, street lights a drizzled reflection in the waters that makes the setting appear like a painting. the gentle chit chat and perfectly
temperate air will keep you comfortable to explore the little shops and markets that stay open, selling souvenirs. if you’re feeling lucky you could always
pay one of the casinos a visit, or for those restless night owls that are craving a dance you’ll find some discotheques hidden away, particularly in the
main hot spot of kyrenia centre. if located in a particularly quiet part of North Cyprus then the majority of hotels will have an entertainment programme,
especially in high season. this will give guests the chance to practice some traditional folk dancing amongst other culturally inspired things!

beaches
picture yourself walking along threads of white sand that glisten gold in the sun, and taking a dip in refreshing waters that illuminate turquoise close to
the shore. this may sound a bit like the beginning to a therapeutic exercise of some sort, but it is in fact the truth when it comes to trying to describe
North Cyprus’ beaches. they are a real defining point for the area, with some of the most picturesque and unspoilt of environments you’ll ever visit. the
karpaz peninsula for instance is perhaps the most luxurious of coastal temptation, with miles and miles of untouched empty beaches, all of which have
their own diversity. the nature is also home to the occasional sea turtle and wild donkey, while overhead many exotic birds migrate through the skies at
certain times of year. with this in mind, many choose to visit karpaz for the solitary coves that offer a private escape on a slice of paradise, as opposed
to the more crowded and activity orientated beaches.
if you’re in search of the latter then you’ll find places such as glapsides public beach meet the criteria, with café facilities and an abundance of water
sports that create an energetic atmosphere perfect to entertain families or those that want to spend a whole day by the sea. there’s even a dJ in
the evenings, so you can spend nightfall dancing or socialising against the breeze and beauty of the beach. many beaches in kyrenia have a similar
atmosphere to this, though alagadi beach to the east is a serene environment for protecting the endangered loggerhead and green turtles. you can spend
a day visiting here, spotting the cute little creatures and enjoying the peacefulness. whatever the ambience you’re looking for North Cyprus has beaches
aplenty, so you definitely won’t be disappointed.
activities
it’s true to say that North Cyprus is mostly about relaxation. those citrus groves, orchid trails and the sea salt air could work their magic on even the
most stubborn workaholic! that’s not to say it hasn’t got a wild side too though. whether you just want some fun distractions or an adrenaline rush with
something adventurous, you’ll find it here. with the allure of those topaz waters, which are home to many exotic species, water sports are of course one
of the most popular activities. many of the public beaches will offer a range, especially in high season. these will usually include things such as jet skiing,
organised‘bananaboats’or‘doughnutrides’,canoeing,wind-surfing,parasailingandofcoursescuba-diving.
there’s so much natural beauty to explore in the rugged exterior of North Cyprus, in particular the kyrenia mountains provide great inspiration for
enthusiastic hikers. if walking up steep inclines isn’t so much your thing, how about a horse ride instead? it’s a brilliant way to catch the natural panoramic
views of the region.
families or groups of friends can enjoy a day out go karting, ten-pin bowling or paintballing (if you’re feeling brave!) for something extra thrilling though
paragliding is recognised as one of the most exhilarating of things to try, allowing you the chance to see North Cyprus from a perspective not many have!
for the calmer spirited activity seekers, a spot of fishing perhaps? or a game of golf at the luxurious korineum resort would suit those that are either
experienced golfers or want to learn. whatever you chose to do whilst here, you can be sure that it will be a totally unique experience, set to the
mediterranean scenery.
history
in many ways, venturing into North Cyprus is like going on a great adventure. the island has seen so many heroes of legends and the past, and these
have left their spirit in the many sites that are scattered amongst the scenery. myth along with ancient history is a part of the islands foundations,
weathered but proud alongside the mediterranean nature. the architecture in particular is a reminder of the civilisations that lived here long, long ago,
and add to the atmosphere a ghostly ambience of all the life that has passed through these dusty streets.
famagusta is a prime spot for exploration. inside its walled city you’ll find churches, tombs and monasteries, all placid but with a charismatic presence
amongst the quiet landscape. famagusta is also home to what is considered to be the greatest ancient city in Cyprus: salamis. the ruins here are a
collection of fragments from a once glamorous and opulent environment.
much of the past mingles with the present, the old harbour in kyrenia a beautiful backdrop to evening diners and pensive wanderers. bellapais abbey
is a shrine to the grandeur of gothic architecture, with an inspiring design that will make you feel as though you’re in a fairy tale while you sip coffee in
the shade of the gardens that surround it.
the truly wonderful thing is that everything you’ll spot has some sort of a story attached to it, including the five finger mountain that watches over the
region like a proud guardian. the scenery provides a constant source of conversation with the locals, its historical nature also being the cause for North
Cyprus’ tranquillity. it is this that gives the island a feeling of being frozen in time, preserving its unique heritage and mystical charm.

maNy head to North Cyprus for its atmosphere of priVaCy aNd traNquillity.
those long curves of sun kissed sand and side streets charmed with home cooked aromas sketch a seemingly sleepy quality to the islands character,
though this still holds some unexpected surprises!
embrace the nature by taking an adrenaline fuelled hike or horse ride through the rugged kyrenia mountains, reaching panoramic views that’ll make for

ambience. so, if you find yourself restless from all that time spent sipping cocktails poolside, there is an unexpected variety of activities that can be

while 7 are completely unique to the area. twice yearly you’ll catch flocks
of birds on their migration route, which makes for a beautiful and rare
experience. every march to may is the time of northward migration while

you can get the best views. these include the seductive sandy sliver of
the karpaz peninsula, where much exotic wildlife retreats to.

turtle projectdue to marine turtles being endangered species conservation is extremely
important in North Cyprus, where many turtles choose to nest. in 1992
the society for the protection of turtles in Northern Cyprus (spot) sent
a team of volunteers with the same initiative of monitoring, researching
and protecting the marine turtles to conduct surveys on the nesting
beaches in the area. since then three conservation groups (including
mtCp and mtrg) continue these practices on nesting beaches,
successfully managing to protect the turtle population, as well as make
an impact on the global understanding of marine turtle biology and the
threats to their existence. turtle watching can provide an experience that
is rare and unique to North Cyprus. it is something that will allow you to
get right to the heart of the islands wildlife, and to appreciate the work
that goes into maintaining such a peaceful and undisturbed environment
for these creatures.
schedules for excursions include the following:
• Night watch – small groups (10 people per evening) accompany students to the beach at night to watch the adult female turtles covering up their nests. this is usually available from June 1st to august 1st. Nights can get cold too so make sure to bring warmer clothes along.
• excavations – public nest excavations allow visitors to see trained volunteers unearth nest contents, including any remaining live hatchlings. these usually take place around 4pm between august 15th and late september. depending on the status of the nest after hatching a decision is then made about inviting visitors.
• releases – these usually take place between august 15th and late september, and allow a small number of visitors to handle and release a hatchling. they are released at night under red light at around 9pm usually. releases are normally over within half an hour. sensible footwear should be worn.

DoWntoWn kyrEnIAyou haVe Just arriVed iN North Cyprus. after you’Ve settled iN to your hotel aNd had a quiCk driNk at the bar you’re
ready to get your holiday started, headiNg to dowNtowN kyreNia.
the first thing you notice is the marina harbour, its waters aglow with the welcoming lights of restaurants and bars as night falls. to your right is the
magnificent kyrenia castle, defined by streams of orange that set its stony walls ablaze as a strong historical presence. this dates back as far as 111
bC and once played a huge part in the defence of the island, a powerful protector throughout the centuries. it also includes one of the world’s oldest
shipwrecks along with the Church of saint george. you can explore the exhibitions here and admire the byzantine and Venetian architecture, soaking up
an impression of the turbulent past it has endured. there’s the soft mumble of fellow travellers chatting at tables overlooking the sleeping yachts, and
you stroll south, through the streets as they gradually illuminate with evening spirit.
Youspota largewhitechurch, itsbelltowernoticeablefromafar.ThiswasoncetheGreekOrthodoxChurchofArchangelosMikhael,built in1860.
Nowadays it houses the icon museum that shows a range of preserved local icons. these provide a fascinating assemblage of culture from kyrenia’s
colourful heritage. following the winding cobbled streets further into town you’ll catch a glimpse of the old bazaar, also known as the bandabuliya.
once a traditional market place, the ambience is still similar, warm, inviting and excitable with people and restaurants. the market shops are fringed in
handcrafted souvenirs, and you pick up some evil eye charms for friends back home (feeling relieved you’ve got the gifts sorted!)
Venturing outside again, the smell of flavoursome cuisine animates the area along with sights of delicious mezze platters and fresh fish amongst groups
of diners. locals invite you in to try some hearty home-cooked dishes, and you sit amongst the scenery of cosy little tavernas, where locals drink coffee
and play back gammon. life here is much the same as it was many decades ago, still laid back with tradition at its heart. for this reason kyrenia is a
unique place, combining a modern cosmopolitan vibe with the untouched local life that co-exists down backstreets, in homey cafes and through the
historical scenery.

EAst oF kyrEnIAthe Next morNiNg you deCide to Visit east of kyreNia, with the mediterraNeaN Climate promptiNg a beaCh trip.
here lies alagadi beach, which is famously a nesting ground for the loggerhead turtles (carretta carretta) and the green turtles. due to these being
protected species the alagadi is a calm and unspoilt place, streamed with sun bronzed sand and lapped by a crystalline sea. you spend some time
relaxing and cooling off, watching the cute little loggerheads wander beside the shore, and then take a trip to the korineum golf and Country Club, which
is about 5 miles away. this luxury resort is home to North Cyprus’ first and only 18 hole golf course, looking out over picturesque coastal views and the
mystical five finger mountain.
after a game you sit down to a cold drink and some food at the restaurant before retiring to the spa and wellness centre to wind down with a massage.
as the day settles into afternoon the air cools slightly and you decide to go sightseeing. the east of kyrenia is especially peaceful, adorned with olive
groves and historical scenery.
most noticeably, buffavento Castle has a summit towering 950m above sea level. it was built as part of the defence strategies against the arab raids,
guarding an important pass through the mountains. decent walking shoes are a necessity as it’s quite a steep walk, though worth it when you see its
panoramic views of North Cyprus. the hazreti omer is a little walk away from here, but if you feel up to it houses the remains of a 7th century commander
and his men, who died defending North Cyprus from arab raids. it is a slightly eerie, but nevertheless intriguing sight to behold, full of historical wonder.

you have a choice in environment, with secluded bays offering a more private retreat, or the sociable family friendly coves, offering facilities aplenty.
if you decide on the latter then the escape beach Club is one of the most popular in the area. it has many opportunities to get involved with water sports,
go scuba diving and even play some volleyball. you can sit at the serviced café, enjoying lunch beside the blend of blue sea and sky stretching out into
the distance.
there’s the chance to stay here into the night too, with a resident dJ and charismatic bars and eateries vying for your attention. you decide to pass this
up though, and leave to see the ancient city of lambousa. founded by the phoenician traders in the 8th century b.C. lambousa is host to three ancient
sites nowadays.

an enchanting site in the west also, once used as a defence watchtower.
it is full of mystery and legend, its name inspired by a miraculous monk who spent much of his later life living in the mountain that forms the foundations
to the castle. this position leaves you feeling on top of the world, with some incredible sights of the rugged mountainous borders and green landscapes
of North Cyprus.

the 13th century bellapais abbey is the first thing to grab your attention in this quaint little village, its gothic architecture an overpowering structure in the
centre of the village square that gives a poetic ambience to the sleepy surrounding streets, alight with locals sipping turkish coffee and selling unique
handcrafts.
the abbey is also considered to be the most beautiful building in the east and for this reason is a fitting place to be host of the annual bellapais music
festival, providing the perfect atmosphere to illuminate performances.
the interior shivers with silhouettes, while the surrounding lush gardens romanticise the scenery. you climb up to the roof and marvel at the awe inspiring
views across North Cyprus.

of rooms and facilities available is what makes the resort such a popular choice. guestrooms within the main hotel offer either land or sea views with a
balcony or terrace, and fit from 3-4 people max. they are all well facilitated with full air conditioning, an en-suite, a satellite tV, mini bar, hairdryer, kettle

GlApsIDEs BEAch AnD BoGAZ vIllAGEafter checking into your hotel and settling in, the sun is still shining and so you head straight to glapsides public beach. this is one of North Cyprus’
most popular beaches, and with a unique backdrop of the salamis ruins you can see why. the unspoilt nature brings placidity to the otherwise lively
atmosphere, and you relax amid the friendly hum of families and other travellers. water sports are in abundance here, with the chance to go jet skiing or
kayaking, and a café sits in the shade serving up snacks and drinks. you might even spot some of the exotic migrating birds too!
as the skies filter with smoky light, you chose to end the day with a visit to bogaz Village, a quiet little harbour brought to life with the many restaurants
serving fresh sea food. you have the opportunity to try a range of the exotic mediterranean underwater life, including octopus! the atmosphere here is full
of local charm, where you can eat delicious cuisine and chat with those around you, embracing the hospitable and tranquil nature that defines the culture.
sAlAMIsafter a good nights sleep, you venture to the salamis ruins first. Considered to be the greatest ancient city in Cyprus this is a fitting historical site to start
with! dating back to 1100bC most notable points of interest include the basilicas, the forum, an amphitheatre, and the gymnasium and roman baths
that are entered along marble pavements, still alive with the elegance that salamis once boasted.
leaving the ancient city you continue inland from the entrance and reach st barnabas monastery. this was built in the memory of saint barnabas,
a native of salamis who inspired the word of Christianity throughout Cyprus. Nowadays it is an icon museum set amongst pretty gardens, with a
beautifully carved water fountain and a historic cloister courtyard that create a peaceful environment. Just onwards are the royal tombs where there are
reconstructions of bronze horse chariots. there are six major royal tombs in total, though if short on time st Catherine’s prison is one not to be missed,
belonging to an early Christian martyr of alexandria. it stands out with a roman built chapel above the tomb. there is so much to see here that it is
impossible to cover everything in a day, so you retire to the hotel for dinner and some live entertainment.
EnkoMI AnD thE kArpAs pEnInsulAthe next day you start from where you left off, driving west from the st barnabas monastery to tour the first ancient capital of the island: enkomi. this site
dates all the way back to 2000bC. you spot old houses, wells, cisterns and tombs, all the while watching out for the wild life amongst the dusty remains!
the sanctuary of the horned god and the house of the bronzes are some specific attractions, showing impressive artefacts.
after grabbing a kebab to eat you head eastward to reach the coast, and venture onwards to the beautiful karpas peninsula. this stretch of seductive
white sand is home to a variety of coves, many being famed for their unspoilt landscapes that provide a private paradise for visitors. another attribute of
the area is its exciting wild life. this is a prime spot for bird watching in particular, and you might even see some of the protected turtle species depending
on the time of year. there isn’t much to do here, but that’s its appeal, offering a slow paced lifestyle in an environment that is very much ruled by nature
and tranquillity.

the followiNg day you deCide to take it easy with aN amble arouNd old famagusta.
the area still bares vulnerability from the history it has endured, with sparse plants and a dusty appearance. this is made to feel all part of the undisturbed
mediterranean charm however, with the friendliness of the locals and pulse of little cafes and shops that welcome wanderers. in the main square you spot
the st. Nicholas’ Cathedral (lala mustapha pasa mosque). thought to have taken a grand 100 years to complete, this is the largest medieval building in
famagusta, so it’s hard to miss! it is where the lusignan kings were once crowned as kings of Jerusalem, having been crowned the kings of Cyprus in
Nicosia before that. the buildings beautiful gothic architecture spirits holiness to the area.
Just opposite the Cathedral you meet with the 15th century Venetian palace, a four columned granite structure with three arches. this was once where
the Venetian governor bragadino lived. its magnificence has sadly wavered since then, with many decades of disturbance and drama. though, while
you sip tea in the little courtyard and visit the ottoman fountain, it’s given a rich character once more. as the early afternoon rolls over to reveal a cooler
air, you pass many fascinating sights, such as the martyrs memorial, a steam locomotive, and a post office that is representative of british colonialism
in Cyprus. Continuing you reach the edge of Varosha, what was once a famous cosmopolitan destination for travellers and movie stars alike but is now
a ghost town. the glamour and luxury have been replaced with decay and a sad crumbling effect, buildings slowly being reclaimed by nature. sitting on
the outskirts to Varosha you get a vision of a place that was once bustling with the fashionable and wealthy but is now frozen in time.
much of famagusta has the appeal of allowing visitors to put life on pause for a moment. the area is full of legends, myths, tradition and history, all
combined with delicate beaches and hospitable locals. the atmosphere hopes to let you experience a glimpse of life that is un-fussed with the rush of
commercialism, and instead gets right to the heart of cultural heritage.

relax on famagusta’s white sandy beaches one week, exploring the historical presence of ruins such as salamis and feeling lost to the peacefulness of
the dusty roads. then, the following week stop by the harbour in kyrenia, spending nights beside the lights from eateries and shops that slither across
the water, sipping a local brandy sours cocktail amid the ramble of local life.
twin centre holidays in North Cyprus help you to enjoy the various ambiences of the island without the need to drive long distances to experience it. stay
in each area and spend unhurried time within them.
we are offering full flexibility, with no restrictions or limitations as to how many nights you can spend at each location. simply decide on your choice of
hotels, when you want to travel, and how long for, then sit back and leave the organising to our specialist team. with over 30 hand selected hotels in
North Cyprus, your options are wide open!

a relaxiNg holiday iN North Cyprus is a truly magiCal experieNCe, there’s No doubt of that. but why Not CombiNe it with
somethiNg totally differeNt? add a Visit to istaNbul - a uNique, amaZiNg City that straddles two CoNtiNeNts & Cultures.
istanbul is a destination that is not to be missed. if you like ancient and modern history, bustling bazaars, al fresco dining, and a destination oozing
with culture – then istanbul’s vibrant fusion of europe and asia is the place for you. istanbul is unique in that it manages to balance its history with its
developments. you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time, with the unique décor and architectural style creating a spiritual ambience everywhere you
explore. the ancient history of the city is entwined with the landscape and the modern luxuries.
you could spend the day visiting mosques, historic churches and shopping in the colourful markets that sell intricately embroidered crafts and delicious
treats. at the same time, you can pop into a shopping mall or have a fancy meal at a restaurant. there’s so much to discover that you’ll find yourself lost
in a charismatic pallet of exotic sights as soon as you step off the plane!
of course, no visit to istanbul would be complete without a trip to the picturesque istanbul islands. go island-hopping and marvel at the waterfront
homes of the rich and famous, or take the more cultural option with the locals and enjoy a sandwich with fish freshly caught by the istanbul fishermen.
all of this is just a handful of the experiences you can enjoy in istanbul, a city whose sights and sounds, whose tastes and smells will let you experience
something new. many of these experiences revolve around the enchanting bosphorus, which makes istanbul the perfect setting for relaxation, exploration
– and enchantment. having been named europe’s cultural capital in 2010, istanbul is somewhere that everyone should see at one point in their lives.
there is truly no other city like it!
the hotels featured here are a selection from our extensive directory which includes 3 to 5 star hotels, boutique residences and ottoman mansions.

north cyprus & south cyprusdireCt traVeller was the first CompaNy to offer holidays to North Cyprus through direCt flights to larNaCa iN the
south. we haVe siNCe deVeloped this idea to giVe our traVellers the opportuNity to stay oN both sides of the CouNtry
duriNg oNe trip.
the North and south of Cyprus have such distinctive characters, which can provide the chance to not only get a broader perspective of the country, but
also to experience an exciting holiday of fascinating and diverse attractions. you’ll have a choice of resort in each, whether it be kyrenia in North Cyprus,
mixed with limassol in the south, you’ll be able to combine the two areas that catch your wonder the most.
tailor-made Combination
these holiday packages are usually scheduled equally at 7 nights in the
North and 7 nights in the south, though if you would rather a different
length of time in each place we can also offer a tailor made option.
switching destinations mid-holiday won’t feel like a disruption either, with
all flights, hotels and transfers included and organised within the deal.
you’ll also have dedicated reps in each resort that will be there to ensure
you feel settled and happy throughout your trip.

atmosphere that feels relaxed by the hush of the sea and sleepy scenery.

sands. you could choose to spend a leisurely day ambling around some
sites such as the ayios iiias Church, or admiring the views from the cliff
tops. every attraction here is sure to prompt a feeling of contentment.
limassol
home to the main port in Cyprus and much Cypriot wine, limassol has
something for everyone. it is an enchanting destination of lively attractions,
enticing eateries, cosmopolitan evenings and spa hotels. all of this is set
to an ambience of historical significance, the scenery accompanied by
such sites as amathous ancient kingdoms and the kourion amphitheatre.
larnaca
as one of the oldest cities in Cyprus, larnaca boasts a landscape
bountiful with history and mystique. there’s the Church of lazarus, the
Larnacafort,builtin1625,andtheKitionancientKingdomsdatingback

with its long dusty stretches of road, awe inspiring mediterranean scenery, glowing horizons and many historical sights to explore, renting a car in North
Cyprus isn’t a bad idea! although the thought of driving in a different country might seem daunting, aside from the area it’s actually not that different from
driving in the uk. the steering wheel is still on the right hand side of the car, and drivers keep to the left hand side of the road, while many of the road
signs are in english too.
it is recommended you pre-book your car hire before you depart in order to ensure that you secure your vehicle availability for your holiday in advance.
if you are unsure of the dates you want the car hire for, direct traveller can accept pre-bookings up to the date of your departure.

Very occasionally we have to change your holiday arrangements after you arrive at the destination. if we do this, we will try to place you in accommodation of the same or higher standard in the same or a similar resort. if we make a major change compensation will be paid referring to the details below:
if we ChaNge your holiday - if a major change becomes necessary, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as it is reasonably possible if there is time before your departure, if not you will be notified upon arrival at the resort. in accordance with eu regulation 2111/2005 we are required to advise you of the actual carrier operating your flight/connecting flight/transfer. we do this by confirming air carriers on your confirmation & at time of booking, and also by listing carriers to be used or likely to be used in our brochure. the flights referred to in this brochure are operated by a range of scheduled or charter airlines, using wide or narrow body jet aircraft. any changes to the actual airline after you have received your tickets will be notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding gate. such a change is deemed to be a minor change. other examples of minor changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same standard, or substitution of attractions/destinations visited on pre-booked tours or cruises.a major change is one that we make to your holiday arrangements before departure that involves changing your airport(s) (except between heathrow, stansted, luton and gatwick) and (manchester, birmingham) and (Cardiff & bristol), resort, time of departure or return by more than 12 hours, or offering accommodation with a lower standard than that booked, change of destination (this does not include change of resort where the destination airport remains unchanged), or where the destination airport changes for the same resort. you then have a choice of either: if we Change your holiday:a. accepting the changed arrangements as notified to you.b. purchasing another available holiday from us.C. Cancelling your holiday.

our liability to you - “if the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed by us or our suppliers we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements. however we will not be liable where any failure in the performance of the contract is due to: you; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall.our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of twice the cost of your travel arrangements. our liability will be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to (a) the contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. these terms are incorporated into this contract; and (b) any relevant international convention, for example the montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. we are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. you can ask for copies of the transport companies' contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our offices (40-42 hawks rd, kingston upon thames, surrey, kt1 3eg. 0844 4141684).
UnderEUlaw(Regulation261/2004)youhaverightsinsomecircumstancesto refunds and/or compensation from your eu registered airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights(at eu destinations). full details of these rights will be publicised at eu airports and will also be available from airlines. however reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in clause “cancellation by the client”. if any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this amount. if your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Civil aviation Authorityon02074536888.
flight delays - in the event of a flight being delayed at eu destinations only, the airlines that dt ltd uses will arrange for the following to be provided, whenever practical and subject to the airport being able to cater for this: – over 4 hours, an appropriate meal; for delays of at least 8 hours extending beyond midnight, overnight accommodation will be provided wherever possible. however, this will depend on such factors as the expected length of the delay, local availability of accommodation, immigration rulings etc. where long flight delays result in lost holiday time, no refunds are given by hotels for unused accommodation, as rooms are held for delayed arrivals, not re-let. similarly airlines do not offer compensation for flight delays. it is in recognition of the above that holiday travel insurance policies normally offer monetary compensation for flight delays under certain circumstances and we advise you contact your travel insurance supplier for such claims
prompt assistaNCe iN resort - if the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall, and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances.
exCursioNs - excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your package holiday provided by us. for any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract will be with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us. we are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator. any tours booked (whether in the uk or abroad) may be unavailable due to local decisions to cancel them for any reason, and at the discretion of the tour manager. dt ltd is not responsible for this as these decisions are taken locally and are dependent upon conditions prevailing at the time. however, when we are told of significant changes, we will inform you at the time of the booking or, if you’ve already booked your excursion you will be contacted as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure.
CoNditioNs or Carriage - when you travel with a carrier, the conditions of carriage of that carrier will apply, some of which may limit liability. the conditions of carriage of that carrier are incorporated into this contract. you may ask for copies of the relevant conditions of carriage from our offices.
ComplaiNts - if you have a problem when you are on holiday you must report this immediately to our local representative who will try to prevent your holiday being spoilt. a Complaint form should be requested by your local representative and filled out. you should record your complaint on a signed Customer Complaint form during your holiday. unless there is a valid reason why you failed to report your complaint to our local representative we will not consider ourselves to be liable for those complaints. if a “customer disclosure form” is completed, and signed whilst in resort this will illustrate that your complaint has been dealt with. the matter cannot then be reinstated on your return back the uk as a satisfactory resolution has been accepted in the resort. if you wish to take your complaint further you should write to our uk Customer relations department within 28 days of returning home. if you do not do so, this may affect our ability to investigate complaints and may impact on the way that your complaint is dealt with.
