Fröå Gruva, a historic copper mine near Mount Åreskutan, now serves as an open-air museum, showcasing a unique blend of mines, stone heaps and pastures. Operational from 1744 to 1919, this site has been revitalised, featuring reconstructed buildings, a 19th-century water system, and big water wheel. Explore the old mine canals, enjoy guided tours in summer, or walk one one of the hiking trails. The area also includes a café, perfect for a fika break amidst the rich history and stunning mountain scenery.

Just north of Sharm (roughly 35 kilometres), this protected area mixes desert, mangroves, and coral reef into one quiet stretch of coastline. You’ll spot mangrove trees growing straight out of the sea, and if you’re lucky, herons, foxes, or even a gazelle in the dunes. The offshore reef is solid for snorkelling, and the seagrass beds sometimes attract turtles.

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.
