Luxury holidays in Ilgaz, Northern Cyprus
Pretty village Ilgaz is in the tree-covered Besparmak hills of Northern Cyprus, a short skip from mediaeval castle ruins, archaeological sites and rolling vineyards. Wake up with rich Turkish coffee or cups of potent tea in the local café (you can spy the sea from its terrace), or wander Kyrenia’s old harbour. Then settle back into your boutique hotel, and raise a toast the mountains with a glass or two of the local wine….
When to go
You’ll get 12 hours of sunshine a day in August, when the sea temperatures hit a bath-water-appropriate 28°C. December’s known for its downpours, and winters dip to a chilly 10°C.
