You can fly to the North via Istanbul.
It’s always been a really cheap place to holiday but with the current hike in the Turkish Lira it’s absolutely dirt cheap.Plus it’s also a beautiful side of the island.

You are very lucky.
Can you fly direct to North Cyprus or is it via the South?

I was on the other side of the island to you from 2010-2014. When were you there?
Unfortunately, just as some friends are coming home, others are being posted out, so I get a constant reminder on bragbook of the amazing island. I miss it loads and it was the best time of my life, although I’m hoping one day I’ll stop having to cry myself to sleep at night.

The main resort seaside area is Kyrenia ( Girne) which is/basically consist of a large town centre with Hotels shops bars restaurants and a beautiful harbour area. It’s a very busy built up area.
Either side of the town over the years has also become very built up. My villa is in a place called Catalkoy which is about 4 miles out of Kyrenia but all the way has bars,shops,restaurants along the road. The other side of Kyrenia lies the holiday area called Lapta which has the same bars,shops restaurants etc.
Over the years a lot of 5 and 6 star big hotels have been built like The Lords Palace which are resorts in themselves.
We go there for Christmas Day and have a 7 course meal,unlimited local alcoholic drinks and two lives bands for £30!!
It really is by far the cheapest holiday destination closest to the UK.
Plus they drive on our side of the road and all signs in English

I paid £14.99 to fly out 3 weeks ago and £9.99 to fly back on 5th January. It was 22 degrees yesterday so t shirt weather in day and you need a sweater in evening. Bit too cold for swimming though on saying that I did see a few swimming in the sea yesterday morning

Only joking, would never go there personally though due loyalty towards some Greek Cypriot mates but that's another story for another day

I never rent my villa out cos the costs are just so low. £10 a month for council tax. My biggest expense is the £500 yearly maintenance cost on my pool.
