Extreme points of Northern Cyprus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The extreme points of Northern Cyprus are the most notable places that are closest to the most northerly, southerly, easterly, and westerly areas of North Cyprus, the northern third of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The most easterly and northerly places are the same, due to the north-easterly protrusion of the Karpass Peninsula.
