North Cyprus is such a relaxing place, you may not wish to EXpress yourself the entire trip! However, if you do want to EXpress your inner dancer, join one of the open air dance parties on a North Cyprus sandy beach. The Escape Beach Club hosts dj nights with the style of Ibiza at a fraction of the cost - and crowds. It’s also young, noisy and very good-natured. See international dj Tiesto blasting the grooves in Kyrenia for yourself at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBXUDvAj0OI

Or, EXpress your love of nature by joining a turtle watch at Golden Beach on the Karpas peninsula. As the tiny hatchling turtles emerge from their sandy nests and struggle towards the sea, it's a wonder any survive at all, but they are heavily protected under Turkish Cypriot law. Head for Hasan Kormaz's Turtle Beach restaurant, (tel +90 533 864 1063 or +90 533 849 5756) where ex-marine biologist Hasan will grill your fresh fish lunch personally. The turtles only hatch at night, so Hasan will rent you a room or hire you a tent, and help you spot the turtles by moonlight without disturbing them.
