Camping Area
Camping
There are several official camping sites in
the Kyrenia and Famagusta areas which offer services such
as washrooms, toilets, restaurants, bars, etc. However the
more intrepid visitor may wish to venture out into the wild
where there are no such facilities. There are no restrictions
on such activities except that lighting fires in forest areas
is an offence.
The most common places for camping area are:
Silver Beach
Situated
at the far south of the Salamis ruins, this is a great spot
for swimming and snorkeling. The sand shelves slowly making
it safe for children. It is most interesting to explore the
now submerged harbor of the ancient city. There are not many
facilities here other than cafeteria.
Kaplica Village
There
is a nice camping area in Kaplica Village offering both camping
place and bungalow to enjoy the beauty of the sandy beach
. The quiet atmosphere and the natural environment are the
major factors especially for the local people to choose this
place.

Free Camping
There are numerous opportunities to free camp. In the winter
months (Oct.-April) you will be restricted to the coastal
regions becauseof the cold weather in the mountains. (Mount
Olympus is over 6000ft. in height). At present Cyprus has
not yet caught on as a destination for winter motor caravanning.
On our last winter visit we were the only foreign Motorhome
on the island. It is very peaceful. There is very little crime
on the island. Most problems are caused by tourists in the
high season.
