The breeze that never fails to cool, even on the hottest day, ruffles the two flags that fly from a high rock, while sea birds ride the thermals above. Thrift and wild statice bloom on the rocky terrain and out to sea in the swirl of the converging tides, the Zafer Adalari (Klidhes Islands) keep constant sentry duty. On the way to the end, the road passes the old British Customs Houses now converted into the Sea Bird Motel that will provide a delicious lunch and has the additional benefit of a beautiful sandy cove with azure water.

Lavinia Neville Smith first came to North Cyprus in 1995, and fell in love with the country and the Turkish Cypriot people. A self confessed dilettante, with a varied working career, it was not until she returned in 1997 and went into tourism that she was able to put to good use her knowledge of history, ancient and modern, acquired long ago at school. She is a co-author of the Landmark Visitors Guide to North Cyprus, and continues to promote this beautiful country as far afield as possible.
