The island of Cyprus has been the natural habitat for two special sea turtle species, the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) and the green sea turtle, for thousands of years. These magnificent and awe-inspiring creatures regularly visit Alagadi (Turtle) Beach in Northern Cyprus and Golden Beach and Ronnas Beach on the Karpaz Peninsula to nest every year. These beaches are places where turtles are protected and carefully monitored to ensure their young reach the sea. This unique natural phenomenon contributes to the natural beauty and biodiversity of the island of Cyprus.
