DIPKARPAZ

The beach you see in the photo at the top of this page can be found just a few miles short of the point of the Karpaz Peninsula. It is about a mile long and of soft sand. Behind the beach are dunes that become progressively more grassed over as you retreat from the shoreline, until you come under the shade of maritime pines.

When my wife and I found our way down to this beach at midday on a sunny spring morning, we were the only people there. Having parked our hired car out of sight back down the bumpy track, we went to walk barefoot along the lapping wavelets at the water's edge and feel the soft grains trickling in the tide between our toes. Then we selected a shady spot atop a dune for our picnic. Time passed as we ate, watching the shimmer of sunlight on the sea, undisturbed except by a hoopoe that came to perch on the branch above us and by the whisper of the wind. If there was any traffic on the coast road, which curves inland at this point away from the bay, it could not be heard from here.

Then came the clanking of roughly-made bells, and a mixed flock of sheep and goats emerged from amid the trees, cropping the grassy tufts as they approached us, only to be headed off again inland by a swarthy shepherd mounted on a donkey, leaving us alone once more.

Its all very well to show this beautiful part of cyprus but it is an occupied area. The rightful owners have been forced to leave and Turkey damped lots of second grade and primitive people to this area.....well done
