ECOTOURISM

The Kormacit area is the perfect spot of ecotourism in Northern Cyprus. Situated between the beautiful Mediterranean See and the Besparmak mountains, it offers a wide range of ecotourism activities including turtle watching, botanical excursions combined with walking or biking tours, where specific local flora can be observed like orchids and tulips. The 700-year-old Kalkanli olives trees and the orange gardens are also popular spots for ecotourism fans, where they can combine agrotourism with delicious tastings of local products. The mini-farm offers a wide range of local domestic animals including donkeys, horses, goats, ducks, etc
