Lapta Village

This is the village situated over the mountain. There are two ways to approach this village. Either you go by beach road in Kyrenia (way to Karaoglanoglu - Alsancak) or over the mountain (approx 20 Km from St. Hilarian Castle). You will enjoy (not the car driver :-) both sides of the mountain, one sight to the sea and the other wide plains all across curves.

Actually we approached after the St. Hilarian trekking to Lapta village. We were really laapata (Lost) while going Lapta. I am sure drivers like, Meera, Gaurav, Ravi would be enjoyed the drive and rest guys enjoyed the both sides sight seeing scenery.

Time was also running out, because it's going to be sunset and we were not in the condition to scale the same track back again. We discussed in the midway. Thanks to Ankit who confirmed with another car person that the road really goes to Kyrenia.

In the midway we had some snaps. We found the beach road and back to our ways. We had dinner in the Indian restaurant there (near Karaoglanoglu). Thanks to Rajaram site where I found this place.
Wanna to have a look to other places in North Cyprus.

... Roads to North Cyprus

Quote of the post: "Travel memories come back to home when you put your head on your pillow." - Sachin Kumar Gupta (Sach)

If you call North Cyprus as "Pearl of the Mediterranean", wouldn't be wrong. It holds the history in itself with high mountains, golden beaches, Casinos, sea caves, old harbour, castles, churches, and wild flowers all around. I have been here twice, during Easter -summer and Christmas -winter time. Both times I enjoyed here. But I would suggest summer times to enjoy golden beaches, Kyrenia harbour town, North Cyprus tip and Famagusta. Other than that during winter, you can do trekking over the mountains, St. Hilarian Castle, Buffavento Castle and Kantara Castle.



There are two ways to enter into NC, one through Nicosia (Agios Demitos) and another through Pile (Pyla). Each car will be charged 20 Euros (4 people max in each car for 3 days) at the border. Don't forget to put the return stamp while coming back from NC otherwise you wouldn't get entry into NC next time.
To search any places there, follow the map and always refer the mountains and sea side. ( I know its not so easy.) I have been these places till now:

Buffavento Castle Kyrenia Harbour
Kyrenia Castle Shipwrek Museum
Bellapais Abbey Salamis Ruins
St. Hilarian Castle Lapta Village
Famagusta Golden Beach - Bafra

What is Itch!

What is Itch!

What is itch
It may be the bitch, that just crossed you.
may be the bouncy pitch, due to that you hurt.

What is itch
It may be the ditch, that sweat you while digging.
may be the eldritch, when it feels to be in a strange country.

What is itch
It may be the bewitch, when it magnetized the audience with its trick.
may be the flitch, like a longitudinal cut from the trunk of a tree.

What is itch
It may be the hitch, when I jerked while driving.
may be the snitch, when close one turns to informer.

What is itch
It may be the twitch, when got a sudden pinch.
may be the switch, when things are not in your ways.

What is itch
It may be the glitch, couldn't find a bug in software testing.
may be the stitch, used for the needlework in hemstitching.
