To give you an idea of how passionately we and others feel about the areas we represent we have included this poem and other testimonials that have been written by current residents of North Cyprus.

The poem below was written by a retired couple who moved out to North Cyprus a couple of years ago. We feel it perfectly symbolises all that is true and beautiful about the island.

'North Cyprus'
Oh great little island strong and true
What has history done to you
Taken by Byzantines long in the past
But Ottoman and Venetian saw that it didn't last

Run by the British and most other nations
All say what you do but make no donations
The jewel of the Med is how you are known
Why can't your aggressors just leave you alone

I crave for your beaches your sun and green lands
From paradise you are perfectly planned
Your oranges, lemons and grapes are so fine
The fruit of your loins is truly divine

Sat out in the wilderness the rat race looked out
Let's tell all the world just what you're about
We love you North Cyprus with all of our heart
Your peace and tranquillity are oceans apart

Cyprus Outside My Nan's House
Swish, swish, the sea rolls out
Shouting, screaming, my nan's getting excited I am here
The sun is really hot and I can feel it burning my skin
All I want was my nan's big hugs and to stay here forever

Cyprus is like a real dream come true
The birds are whistling like a tune on Classic FM
Tick tock tick tock, the time is running out
What else can I want, my family all around me, the sea and the weather
Bang, my nan's pans move towards the oven
I am happy seeing all these smiles on people's faces like clowns making jokes

'Dreams come True'
We moved to North Cyprus 3 and a half years ago. We built our home and two holiday lets on our land. Business is doing well, we love the island and the Turkish Cypriot people. Life is beautiful here. Roy has just published his first book, and we are hoping to get it published in Turkish. If dreams can come true, we both feel we have found it here!

'Our Place in the Sun'
My husband and I opened our café bar a year ago and have had a lot of fun in the sun. North Cyprus is a wonderful country. It is safe and the people are very kind and friendly. This is our home and we are very happy here. We have found our place in the Sun!

'Would not Live Anywhere else'
We have lived here for 5 years and would not think of living anywhere else. The country and people are really great and made us feel welcome in North Cyprus.

'Value for Money'
We have lived in North Cyprus now for three years and here are our views on life here compared with the UK.
  • Initial cheap purchase of property freeing up more capital for retirement

  • Cost of living - approximately £8,000 less than the UK a year

  • The weather

  • Friendly, honest people

  • Very low crime rate - feeling safe in the towns

  • Health care both public and private is very cheap with no waiting lists
