Breaking News from Kulaksiz 5 and of course the “news” from Cyprus Today. It was very sad to hear that The Abbey Bell Tower has burnt down. Bellapais won’t be quite the same any more.
We went out for the day with Christa and Robin. We drove to Gűzelyurt, or should I say Robin drove. We went to the Saturday market first where of course everything is far cheaper than the Girne area. AND they let you sample the produce.I wasn’t even going to buy any hellim but having tasted it, it was so good, obviously village made, same thing with the walnut stuffed figs!
From there we went to a clothes shop called Midye Butik – 9 Ahmet Mulla Sk. (0392 714 2003) They have such stylish clothes and they are really reasonable prices. Christa and I both bought a dress each! They also sell shoes, handbags and accessories. They were really nice people in the shop, Kemal the owner, and even gave us a drink each. They actually have two shops almost next to each other.
We then went and had lunch in the back garden of a little cafe, that was very pleasant and good food and of course it goes without saying cheaper than Girne area as well.
On the drive back Robin took us to the Monumental Olive Tree Centre where 400 of the 2,000 olive trees there are 500 years and older. Some are 800 years old. It’s quite an amazing place and we were the only people there.
On the drive home of course we had to stop at Mardo’s for an ice cream!
A lovely day out, thanks Christa and Robin.
