NORTHERN CYPRUS
Little-visited Golden Beach, also known as Fat Sand Beach, is more than two miles long
A slender finger pointing to the easternmost end of the Mediterranean, Cyprus’s Karpas Peninsula is reluctant to let go of summer, with November temperatures still in the high teens or low twenties.
