Tail A Sea Turtle
Did you know? Loggerhead turtles are thought to be one of the oldest turtle species weighing up to 450kg! Go on a Turtle watching tour and head to the golden sandy stretch of Alagadi Beach to witness a cute baby turtle hatch or a mother turtle secretly burying her eggs at night! Sea Turtles are often spotted between May to August and usually hatch during the hottest latter months. The pristine shores of North Cyprus are a prime nesting ground for the endangered Loggerhead and Green Turtle and Alagadi Beach is classified as a prohibited area to protect these adorable species.
Feel Sand-Tastic
Postiguet Beach, with its crystal-clear waters, Blue Flag status, and convenient location to the city, is a must-visit. Relax in the soft sand and soak up some rays as you look out over the clear waters of the Mediterranean, or take a stroll along the waterfront path lined with palm trees and sit on one of those wooden benches and feel the light wind brush against your face!
