Hello dear blog readers,

on the fifth day of my tour through Northern Cyprus, we went to the Besparmak Mountains, also popularly known as the "Five Finger Mountains", to a spectacular vantage point, after a delicious breakfast at the Belapais Monastery Village Hotel. The mountains ranges along the north coast and are only a few kilometers away from the sea.

From there you had a great view to the "Five Finger Mountain” and the wooded landscape in this part of Northern Cyprus.

The five-finger mountains are approximately 175 kilometers in range and got the name because, according to a legend, the gigantic Byzantine hero Dighenis, fleeing from his Arab pursuers, has leapt the straits between Asia Minor and Cyprus, clawed himself on the so-called "Five Finger Mountain" and left the imprint of his five fingers on his brittle edge.

Then we went to a very large jewelry manufactory, where you could look around and if you wanted, you were able to buy gold and silver jewelry there. Nothing was forced upon you, the sellers were very friendly and there were drinks like coffee, tea and if you liked even Raki for free.

Then we were brought to a large leather factory that also produces for many well-known brands, where we watched a short fashion show presentation.

The weather was getting better and better, so I left the factory very quickly after the fashion show and discovered a great big fruit and vegetable market across the street.

I also recorded a vlog there and I will upload the video in the next few days.

After visiting the leather factory, we went to the next excursion destination: The beautiful harbor town of Girne, where we visited the interesting harbor fortress among other things.

I will share the pictures and more information with you in my next travel report, so that this article will not be too long. Stay tuned!
