Plan a trip to Kyrenia

An ancient city established around a lovely harbor, the northern Kyrenia boasts nightlife, great seafood, and several historic sites.

Kyrenia is a city on the northern coast of Cyprus, noted for its historic harbour and castle. It is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus. While there is evidence showing that Kyrenia has been populated since ca. 5800–3000 BC, it is traditionally accepted that the city was founded by Achaeans from the Peloponnese after the Trojan War. Kyrenia is a cultural and economical centre, described as the touristic capital of Northern Cyprus.[2][3][4] It is home to numerous hotels, nightlife and a port. It hosts an annual culture and arts festival with hundreds of participating artists and performers.
