Kyrenia tours

Things to do in Kyrenia

The city of Kyrenia, on the northern coast of the island of Cyprus, was settled by Greeks fleeing the Trojan War. Over several millennia it has been controlled by the Romans, Byzantines, Franks, Venetians and Ottomans, Brits and Turks. Today's visitors can admire the castle and harbour, enjoy fresh seafood and chat with friendly local residents. Take a Kyrenia private tour and explore northern Cyprus with a local guide. Meet your guide inside Kyrenia's castle to learn its multi-layered history. The Romans build the foundation, the Byzantines expanded it, as did the Lusigians and Venetians, and today's visitors can enjoy the fruits of this collective labour. To see Krenia from the water, your guide can arrange a private harbour tour that includes lunch and an afternoon swim. Hope in your guide's car and head to the Five Fingers Mountains to see St. Hillarion castle and Bellapais abbey. Other options including hiking to a remote Armenian monestary, or exploring the Karpasia panhandle.
