Laze away the day at Cataract Gorge Reserve only a few minutes from the centre of Launceston. There are peacocks and wallabies, rock climbing and a swimming pool at this popular urban playground. Follow a pathway along the cliff face looking down onto the South Esk River. On the shady northern side, known as the Cliff Grounds, is a Victorian garden with ferns and exotic plants. Wander across the footbridge and take a chairlift ride across the river.

Welcome to Güzelyurt — a charming town in Northern Cyprus, nestled in the centre of the island's citrus-growing region. With its name translating to "Beautiful Place", Güzelyurt lives up to its reputation with stunning, rich and fertile landscapes. Located close to the Troodos Mountains' foothills, this town is a bountiful agricultural hub, producing a variety of vegetables and fruits, earning it the nickname "Fruit Basket" of Cyprus. While Güzelyurt may not be as architecturally or culturally diverse as other towns in Northern Cyprus, it boasts deep historical roots and hidden charms waiting to be discovered. During your visit, make sure to explore the Morphou Archaeology and Nature Museum and the Church of St Mamas, a late 18th-century church that blends Gothic and Byzantine architectural styles, housing a stunning glass chandelier. You can also immerse yourself in local life by visiting the bustling market on Saturdays, where you can find fresh local produce. Enjoy a scenic drive along the coast, stopping at roadside stalls for freshly squeezed juice, and if you're feeling adventurous, join the windsurfers who flock to Güzelyurt's windy shores to ride the waves all year round.

Those looking to experience the quieter side of Naxos will certainly appreciate the tranquility of Kastraki Beach — a long stretch of sand, perfect for long walks along the water. The beach is less developed and never gets crowded, but several taverns do operate in the area.
