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.

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.
