  The ancient Karpaz settlement of Buyukkonuk (Komi Kebir to Greek Cypriots) has been selected as the first eco-village in North Cyprus in and attempt to counteract the growth of mass tourism.
  The scheme aims to preserve the village's local culture in an environmentally sensitive way, and promote the area as a destination for special activity holidays. It is hoped that the initiative will encourage community life in the village to continue, while raising awareness among villagers about the importance for caring for the countryside.
  The villagers have shown commitment to the eco tourism project, forming a committee in order to maximise the success of the project. They have a regular Sunday market, and "eco days", normally on the third Sunday in May and October.
  They offer special interest holidays. (Have a look at the web sites for Eco Tourism and Rozagi Guest House) You can help pick carobs, or pick your own olives, get them pressed at the local olive mill and take home your own oil. The carob season usually starts on the 3rd weekend in August, and is quite short (and hot!). Olive picking normally starts on the 3rd weekend in September, and can continue into December or longer if the season is particularly good. If you want to press your own olives, the mill normally opens shortly after the start of the picking season to allow the first of the olives to be collected.
