My personal vacation this year brought me to the Northern part of Cyprus. While the Greek part of Cyprus is well known for mountain- and road biking, there is not much cycling going in the Northern part, well at least not in November. Which is surprising, we loved cycling there. Beautiful roads with very few cars. Rolling countryside with quiet villages. We had great bikes which we had rented from a local bike rental in Famagusta which were great - Trek Hybrids, perfect for bike-touring.
Before we started cycling, we had a look around Famagusta.
