UK Vs North Cyprus PDF Print E-mail

My name is Lindsay and here is my story so far.

 

Drinks and Bananas!!! In Sept 2002 I came on holiday to North Cyprus with my partner, my sister and her husband.  On the third day of our holiday we decided to visit some Estate Agents in the Kyrenia area as it was hot to sunbathe, I don’t think we looked very affluent as the first two Estate Agents ignored us. Then we stopped at the Girne branch of Estate Agents Donaghy and Beyler and all trooped in, here we were offered drinks and then bananas (by Hayat) we were then sat down and asked what type of property we were looking for, all four of us looked blank

A story of moving a family and my Real Estate life in New York to family life and Real Estate in Northern Cyprus

Hi there or “WHATS UP ‘? As we say in New York!

My name is Pia .

My story is a weird one……

I was born in Denmark, have English/ Danish parents and have travelled all over the world. I moved to New York to help start up a Danish Eyeglass Company and got stuck when I met my Turkish Cypriot husband.

North Cyprus - Our Island in the Sun PDF Print E-mail

We eventually moved back to Oxford but thoughts of finding our island and living in the sun never left our minds.  We had fabulous holidays in Spain, Menorca, Mexico, St. Lucia, Skeggy (just joking!) but never anywhere that we thought we could move to and call home.
