 While it has two well-integrated marinas (in Girne/Kyrenia and Gazimağusa/Famagusta), particular emphasis on the Marinas in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus need to be put on a number of points in relation to its state of isolation susceptible to evolve in line with the Foreign relations of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and on which political haggling between Turkey and the European Union continues.There are close to three dozen marinas currently (2010) operational in Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.Many of these were initially constructed through public investment, and later purchased and fine-tuned by the private sector.
