Dipkarpaz (Rizokarpaso)
Dipkarpaz / Ριζοκάρπασο
The largest village on the eastern peninsula, where Greek and Turkish Cypriot residents live side by side, and a convenient base for exploring the end of the peninsula.
Dipkarpaz (Rizokarpaso) is the central village of the eastern Karpaz Peninsula. A small number of Greek Cypriots still live here alongside Turkish Cypriot residents, and a mosque and the Orthodox Church of Saint Synesios stand side by side in the village. There is a petrol station, a small supermarket and family-run restaurants, making it a good place to stock up before heading to Golden Beach and Apostolos Andreas Monastery. Many farmhouse guesthouses in the area make it a pleasant place to spend a night on the peninsula, with excellent stargazing after dark.
