The pioneering eco-village destination plans an Outdoor Fest 2012, sponsored by Turkish Bank, which offers hiking and photography, cycling, climbing and camping activities using their network of nature trails.

Lois Cemal helped found the Eco-tourism Association with husband İsmail and saw the area declared a pilot project by a North Cyprus Council of Ministers decision in 2005.
She said “The Festivals have enabled local women to earn a weekly wage in their home village. More and more people are stopping by and we now have three bed and breakfast hotels run by local women plus 13 chalets at the municipality Pine View picnic area.”
Donkey rides for youngsters will be on offer and a mid-morning village walk start at 11am. Traditional hands-on bread, cheese and mud brick building demonstrations begin after stalls open at 10am.
