The Karaps Peninsula, the first stop on Philomobile's Yoga retreat in Cyprus, is a long sliver of land home to 46 beaches. Because of its geographical orientation, it has been left relatively untouched by humans, and as a result, the peninsula is home to many different species of wildlife. 


Many small farms can be found throughout the Peninsula, which are mainly used for personal consumption, although some crops are still sold commercially throughout the island. These farms are most well known for their watermelon harvests. 


The Peninsula's town of Rizokarpaso mainly caters to micro-tourism, and these watermelons, along with authentic Turkish-Cypriot Cuisine can be found throughout it. 


Join Philomobile's yoga retreat in Cyprus to get a taste for yourself!
