Kyrenia

A picturesque port with a population of just 22,000, is the most popular tourist destination in North Cyprus. A Venetian harbour town in the past, it is backed by the dramatic wooded hills of Beşparmak Mountains and the castle that guards the harbour. A short drive to the east of Kyrenia and nestling in the foothills of the mountains is the village of Bellapais. It is here that the most beautiful and serene of all the ancient sites on the whole island are to be found. The Gothic Abbey of Bellapais has stood on a rocky promontory since the 12th Century and apart from the ravages wrought by time and man, it has changed very little. To the east and west of Kyrenia, there are some of the finest beaches for sand lovers, some of which are well developed cosmopolitan venues with good restaurants and water sports, while others are more peaceful and remote. It will depend on what each individual tourist is looking for, though one thing in summer is guaranteed, the waters of the Mediterranean will be warm and crystal clear no matter which beach you explore.
