“Let me introduce to you my good friend and colleague Sirin. She is Turkish Cypriot and lives and guides in North Cyprus.
I like that she is always incredibly reliable and helpful. She knows a lot about Cyprus. And I shouldn’t forget her big smile and great sense of humour.
In North Cyprus I especially like beaches with fine deep sand. Ayran, refreshing drink with yoghurt, is my favourite summer drink. And the best ice-cream can be found in Petek in Famagusta.”
