Sailors from across the globe set sail for Girne

Yachts from around the world will arrive in Girne later this month when the Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Rally floats into town.
Some 68 boats crewed by 200 people from 18 countries are taking part in this years' event, which left Istanbul on April 24.
A flotilla will begin arriving in Girne's new and old harbours from 8am on Saturday May 23. Those taking part in the entire event, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, will take in 24 ports, six countries and 1,679 miles in 74 days.

£8m marina to bring boat owners to TRNC

One man's nine year dream is about to come true after he won planning consent to creat an £8 million pound marina in Kucuk Erenkoy, 30km east of Girne.
Work on Port Cyprium Marina is scheduled to begin in July at a cove in the village, which sits between Esentepe and Tatlisu.
Covering 27 donums, the marina complex with 32 villas is designed to realise the potential of yacht tourism in the TRNC's coastal waters. The 543 berth marina is to have boat repair, servicing and lifting facilities, a clubhouse with 20 guest bedrooms, a bar, 3 restaurants offering choices ranging from fast food to fine dining, a bowling green, gym and 2 tennis courts. Watersports including diving and sailing will also be available.

Turtle Bay Spring Party 2009

Tuesday 5th May saw our second party at Turtle Bay Village. Around 200 guests arrived and following food and drinks, we were entertained by Turhan, a professional Turkish Cypriot belly dancer. After Udi made a speech thanking all guests for their attendance and support, a wonderful fireworks display took place. We even had a few brave guests swimming in the pool!

Margaret Warbrick, one of the Turtle Bay Committee members wrote to us thanking us for the evening,

“Thank you very much for arranging the Celebration Evening yesterday we really enjoyed it. It was good to see so many people on site all clearly enjoying themselves.
Please thank all your staff for all their hard work in getting everything ready and for the refreshments.
After reading so much negative press recently regarding purchasing property in Northern Cyprus with the latest events in the Oram's case I am sure everyone feels very grateful that they have bought a property from you and not elsewhere. Certainly all the owners I spoke to last night were saying exactly that.
Thank you once again. Margaret Warbrick.

Many thanks to all who attended.
