Yachts sailing for the 19th traditional Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Rally arrived in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus yesterday.
The rally, which kicked off on 20 April in Istanbul and will continue until 18 June, is aimed at contributing to the development of the yacht sector in Mediterranean countries.

A special event is also organized for yachters called ‘the Pirate’s Night’ which will take place at the Dome Hotel in Girne this evening.
Yachters will leave the TRNC tomorrow.
