Hey /trv/, what do you think of Cyprus?
Having finally been to the North, I must say I greatly prefer it to the south (which I visited several years ago). In particular, I liked the Dipkarpaz peninsula, with its natural vulgarity over the extremely tourist leaning south (I won't profess to being a REAL TRAVELLER TM). I found some of the most beautiful beaches on the entire Med in the Karpaz peninsula, all naturally occuring - warmer water than Spain, France, Italy, and Greece whilst being almost entirely devoid of human life.

Scotsman living down south here, can I ask what part of the south you visited while you were here?
I wont deny the entire economy relies on tourism down here, particularly Agia Napa. But when it comes to getting shitfaced and dancing til you get heatstroke surrounded by 6/10 essex girls, there's no better place for it. Anywhere, I think.
Of course, that's probably not your thing if your favorite beach is devoid of human life. Did you visit the beach where you can look into the dead zone? Creepy shit man. Gorgeous though.

I'll admit, it was on a lads holiday. Stayed in Nicosia a bit (which I'll say is much nicer than the Turkish side) before going to the clubs. I visited Famagusta - sadly can't access any of the interesting parts (i.e. derelict parts).
im planning a vacation in northern cyprus this may! just wanted to ask if you guys think its safe down there? are there any refugee camps? is cyprus even on the refugee route to europe?

Northern Cyprus is extremely safe. There are not refugee camps, and as long as you don't draw a massive amount of attention to yourself you'll be fine. There is a large western community there, mostly British in my experience, and disproportionately tax evaders of some kind. They all have interesting stories.
