I have just been looking through the New North Cyprus Website Tourist Guide and thought you might be interested in the translations of village names in Northern Cyprus. I have copied a small piece from each article.

The word Esentepe translates to mean windy hill, for Esentepe village this is a plus as the town is not so much windy but comfortably cooled by the breeze rising from the Mediterranean sprawling out in front.

Karakum does has its own sandy bay and in fact the name Karakum translates into ‘dark sand’

Translate the word Tatlisu and you have ‘Sweet Water’. Tatlisu village is set in the mountains.

Yesiltepe translated means ‘green hill’.

There are a couple of translations given for Guzelyurt. The first is ‘beautiful country’ and the second ‘good earth’, both being very apt! Neither can fully describe the beauty of Guzelyurt or the surrounding area.

This Tour guide is a site packed full of information on many of the popular areas of North Cyprus. It was sponsored by Donaghy and Beyler, Estate and Letting Agents in Northern Cyprus who also supplied loads of great images for the site.

News - Northern Cyprus - The TRNC - Visitors Visas

Filtering through is News that Visitors to the TRNC are only being issued 30 day visas. Previously visas were issued for a 90 day period.

If you do intend to stay longer than 30 days but no longer than 90 days. The advice being given is to produce your flight ticket and request your visa is made out for the necessary period. If you intend to stay longer than 90 days then the best advice would be to start applying for temporary residency immediately.

It is said that the Police at Ercan do have the authority to make extensions and so if you wish to stay longer it is best to explain your situation to them and request that they issue an appropriate visa.

We will of course keep these pages updated as and when we hear of anything changing.
