Rizokarpaso in the context of "Carob"

The Karpas Peninsula (Greek: Καρπασία, romanized: Karpasía; Turkish: Karpaz), also known as the Karpass, Karpaz or Karpasia, is a long, finger-like peninsula that is one of the most prominent geographical features of the island of Cyprus. Its farthest extent is Cape Apostolos Andreas, and its major population centre is the town of Rizokarpaso (Greek: Ριζοκάρπασο; Turkish: Dipkarpaz). It is currently under the de facto control of the internationally-unrecognised state of Northern Cyprus.

Apostolos Andreas Monastery (Greek: Απόστολος Ανδρέας; Turkish: Apostolos Andreas Manastırı) is a monastery situated just south of Cape Apostolos Andreas, the north-easternmost point of the island of Cyprus, in Rizokarpaso in the Karpass Peninsula. The monastery is dedicated to Saint Andrew and is an important site for the Cypriot Orthodox Church. It was once known as "the Lourdes of Cyprus", served not by an organized community of monks but by a changing group of volunteer priests and laymen. Both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities consider the monastery a holy place. As such, it is visited by many people for votive prayers. The contents of the monastery are also noteworthy.

The Golden Beach (Turkish: Altın Kumsal; Greek: Ναγγομὶ, romanized: Nangomi, also known as Greek: Χρυσή Ακτή, romanized: Chrysí Actí (ellenization of the Turkish name), and Pashi Amos ("Fat Sand Beach")) is a wide sand beach, located near Rizokarpaso in the Karpass Peninsula

It stretches about four kilometers from Galunopetra (Iyitaş) cape on the east to Jyles cape on the south-west. On the eastern part, the dunes extend up to 500m towards the inland. The beach area is separated into two sections by a small hill, Adatepe, and by a large light colored sand dune without vegetation.
