North Cyprus Local News. The launch of the Kyrenia Mountain Trail. We are pleased to announce the launch of the Kyrenia Mountain Trail, a wonderful new 143 mile/ 230km trail across the whole coast of Northern Cyprus, one of the last areas in the Mediterranean yet untouched by mass tourism. The mountain trail runs along the tops of the whole range at an average of 2,000/2,500ft. Passing through miles of unspoilt nature, there is the famous wild donkey sanctuary, a profusion of bird life and in spring carpets of wild flowers and orchids. The trail also passes by three stunning Crusader Castles, a Maronite Monastery, Coptic Churches, Roman and Byzantine settlements - a complete distillation of all the different civilisations which have enjoyed Cyprus in its colourful past. The Kyrenia Mountain Trail Association is a group of volunteers who have undertaken to create this new sustainable tourism project to promote walking and mountain biking, based on the Kyrenia Mountain Range. The trail which follows the Karpaz, Kyrenia and Besparmark mountain ranges has been way marked from ’Cape to Cape’ with over 600 way marks. The Association has created a public web site www.kyreniamountaintrail.org which provides very detailed downloadable maps, profiles and GPS coordinates plus links to all providers of activities on this remarkable trail. We believe that this is a first in terms of Eco Tourism and our aim is to make a difference and benefit poor local communities with quality tourism in a way that general tourism usually doesn’t. Village bread making, olive pressing, donkey rides all contribute to making a fascinating area even more interesting. The Romans called this area ‘Heaven on Earth’ - we would love to share it with you. Haymaker shows north Cyprus affinity. The WBA and WBC Cruiserweight Champion and north Cyprus resident, David Haye, claimed the WBO world title on Saturday with a second round knock out of Enzo Maccarinelli. What would have been apparent to Turkish viewers on the night were not only the three belts he adorned in triumphant fashion, but also the Turkish Cypriot flag which was embroidered on one side of his shorts. Haye’s love for north Cyprus has long been known even though the fighter likes to keep a low profile in his apartment in Ozankoy. He has previously commented that the tranquility and climate of the island makes for a perfect place to train. Haye is the second british fighter to parade the Turkish Cypriot flag on international TV after British Criuserweight Champion, Mark Hobson did the same in October last year. He is now expected to step up to the heavyweight division in order to realise his ambition of winning more world titles. Chlorine Free Swimming Pool Treatment. “PoolSan” is a saturated complex ionic aqueous solution containing copper, silver, zinc, aluminium and gold. The microscopic action of these natural mineral ions with the algae and bacteria are twofold. First, the algae and bacteria in the water are destroyed through a change in their enzyme processes as the ions break down their DNA structures and cell walls. Secondly, all these charged particles floc together so they can be trapped by a filter. The ions maintain a stable “PoolSan” residual in the water until they are used up by this process. The advantages and desired effect of this pool treatment solution will be to improve the quality of the swimming pool water and drastically reduce the exposure of swimmers and lifeguards to chlorine and its irritating and harmful effects such as asthmatic conditions.
