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. If you want to have a look yourself the address is http://www.north-cyprus-locations.northcypruswebsite.com/
