About KYRENIA

Kyrenia is a small picturesque harbour town situated on the northern coast of the island, and said to date from the 10th century BC. The jewel in the crown of this ancient fishing village is its delightfully quaint harbour, with its wide variety of restaurants, cafes and bars. Day or night, the harbour is an ideal place to while away the hours, as you take in the spectacular views of Kyrenia castle. The ‘Five Finger’ mountain range forms a stunning backdrop to the town, and has several beautiful villages nestled within. One of these, Bellapais, is known for its lovely abbey and the ‘Tree of Idleness’, which was made famous in Gerald Durrell’s novel ‘Bitter Lemons’. Most hotels are situated on the outskirts of Kyrenia, some enjoying a setting in charming old villages at the foothills of the mountains.

KYRENIA
 
  • The Tree of Idleness, immortalised in poem by the British author Lawrence Durrel is famous amongst locals as they believe the when you sit under this special tree, people feel relaxed and lazy. That is why they only play Backgammon around the tree. The nearby restaurant has fantastic views of the Bellapaid Abbey and Kyrenia Harbour and serves tasty mezze and kebab.
  • At the centre of town Niazi’s Restaurant has been serving amazing quality mezes and local dishes for over 50 years. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and perfect location.
  • Stroll around the Bandabuliya (market place) in the city centre and stop at the Soner’s Fruit Bar, located in the 100 year old ottoman mall. Local shops selling handmade lace and accessories are also worth a visit.
  • Need a new pair of glasses? Bring your prescription with you and you can purchase new glasses for half the price as in the UK.
  • Have a new suit made as you relax by the harbour. Tailor made suits can be arranged at a very reasonable price. Choose your material, give your measurements and come back in 3 days try on your brand new outfit.
  • Would you like to learn how to cook local Turkish dishes? Take a cooking course in a small local village. From October to November, pick olives from the trees and make your own Olive oil or collect carobs with the villagers and make your own Carob Juice in a 150 year old factory.
  • One of the oldest trade ships of the world sits in the Museum of Kyrenia. 2400 years old and once used for trade routes between Cyprus, the Greek Islands and Anatolia. You can even part of the ship’s last cargo – Almonds, fig seeds, Carob seeds.
