There are
four main beaches
where active turtle conservation is carried out. Akdeniz on the west coast, Aligardi beach on
the North coast and two Turtle beaches in the
Karpas or panhandle area, one on the north coast and one on the
south.

|
|
Long stretches of empty sandy beaches are still to
be found in the Karpas. |
 |
|
Wild donkeys roam the Karpas and cause damage to
crops. Discussions are taking place to decide whether or not
to export the surplus donkeys to
Turkey where they can be used as working animals.

Cape Andreas, the extremity of
the peninsular, is where St Andrew landed. A monastery
there is the venue of an annual pilgrimage on the 'Andreas'
name day for South Cypriots as is the healing spring which has
flowed since St Andrew smote the rock with his stick.

The Karpas is
still relatively empty but the new roads which make it accessible
from Camlibel in 2 hours mean that the solitude must be enjoyed
whilst it lasts.
