Cheap Holiday Destinations 2019: Turkey and Cyprus Deals

--
Cyprus is a stunning island located in the Mediterranean Sea, just off the coast of Turkey. The island is divided into North, the Turkish side, and South, the Greek side, by a ‘green line’. This zone passes through Nicosia, which is the capital for both sides, and is patrolled by the United Nations.

The island had been in dispute, with things coming to ahead in 1974 when Turkey claimed the Northern peninsula following the Greek Cypriots attempts to annex the island. In 1983 Turkey declared their ‘side’ the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. However this declaration is only recognised by Turkey, and to the UN and other countries it is still known as Northern Cyprus. Although the North part of the island is Turkish, they class themselves seperate from the mainland. You will learn that they are proud of the history and island that they have called home since 1974. In 2003 the Tyrkish Cypriots made a huge step and decided to open the border to the South. This relax in rules enabled families and old friends to reunite and meet together.

As the third largest island in the Mediterranean, after Sicily and Sardinia, Northern Cyprus is 71 kilometers South of Turkey, (between Asia, Europe and Africa) allowing for hot, dry summers with mild but wet winters. The spring and autumn months are usually pleasant meaning holidays to Cyprus are the number one choice.

EGYPT

Egypt doesn't have well-defined seasons. Between April and September it is very hot; usually above 35 °C during the day in Cairo and the Delta region, and rising to an average high of about 40 °C in Upper Egypt. October and November average between 25 and 30 °C. The winter period is cooler, with temperatures no higher than 18 or 20 °C in the daytime and down to 5 or 10 at night.

For thousands of years, monsoon rains in the mountains of Ethiopia caused the River Nile to flood and brought rich black silt into the desert. This made the Nile Valley the richest agricultural land in the world. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt took advantage of the regular floods and created a religious government with themselves as gods, who were said to control the rise and fall of the river. The pharaohs ruled for two thousand years, but the reliable harvest made Egypt the prize of occupying empires. During the third century bc, the pharaohs were overthrown by the Greeks, who in turn were toppled by the Romans. For the next two thousand years one occupying force followed another. Then, in 1952, a revolution re-established Egyptian rule over Egypt, and the country became a socialist democracy with an elected parliament and president.

MALTA

The Maltese landscape is mostly low and flat, with a few hills and many cliffs along the coastline. There are no mountains, lakes or rivers on the island, and its general appearance is bare and rocky. The coastline is rocky too; there are a few sandy beaches but most of them are pebble or shingle. Malta’s predominant colour is ochre, a pale-brownish yellow - this is due to the limestone rocks that dominate the island. Many of the houses are built of this local limestone. Because the island has such a high population density there is very little vegetation. The towns and villages around the capital, Valletta, and the nearby city of  Sliema have spread so much that they have converged.
