Painting holidays in Europe

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a small country situated in the east Mediterranean off the west coast of Turkey, and is an ideal destination for painting holidays in Mediterranean, Europe. It is 120 miles wide and only 15 miles from the northern coastline to the southern border. It is a still a growing holiday destination and largely free from tourist development. The Turkish Cypriots are wonderful people who are very proud of their country and all too willing to share it with you.

The ancient sites and many beaches are always quiet and the views are stunning. Forget the stresses and strains of life, relax and unwind in a tranquil setting in the foothills of the Besparmak Mountains, within easy reach of quiet Mediterranean beaches and only nine kilometres from the ancient harbour of Kyrenia.

Whatever you want from your holiday it’s probably here. All year round there is plenty to see. You will be spoiled for choice, with flora, fauna, mountains, forests, plains and beaches all packed into a very small place.
