About Kyrenia

Kyrenia, located on the northern coast of Cyprus, offers a blend of historical landmarks and natural beauty. One of the most significant attractions is the Kyrenia Castle, which dates back to the medieval period. Visitors can explore its well-preserved walls and enjoy views of the harbor from its ramparts. The castle also houses a small museum showcasing artifacts from the region’s history.

Another key site is the Shipwreck Museum, located within the castle. This museum features a 2,300-year-old shipwreck discovered off the coast, providing insight into ancient maritime trade and shipbuilding techniques.

The Old Harbor in Kyrenia is a picturesque area lined with cafes and restaurants. Strolling along the waterfront offers a chance to appreciate the charming boats and the scenic backdrop of the castle. It’s a pleasant place to relax and enjoy the local cuisine.

For those interested in local culture, the Bellapais Abbey is a short drive from Kyrenia. This former monastery, with its stunning Gothic architecture, is set against a backdrop of the Five Finger Mountains.
