Miles of rolling golden dunes and turquoise waters; celebrated as the Mediterranean's most pristine wild beach.
Stretching for over four uninterrupted kilometers along the southern flank of the Karpaz panhandle, Golden Beach (Nangomi Bay) is universally recognized as one of the finest wild beaches in Europe.
