Welcome to Kyrenia

History, nature and the harbour at its heart

Kyrenia’s old harbour has an atmosphere you feel before you see it. Fishing boats and yachts sit below the castle walls, while former carob warehouses are now relaxed restaurants and cafés.

Beyond the waterfront, lanes wind through the old town and the Five Finger Mountains rise behind the coast. It is an easy base for Bellapais Abbey, St Hilarion Castle, village restaurants and the greener west of North Cyprus.

Know before you go

Plan your Kyrenia stay

Kyrenia works equally well for a slow coastal break or as a base for exploring the north. Local minibuses serve the main coastal road, while a hire car gives you freedom to reach mountain castles and western villages.

  • Where to stay Harbour for atmosphere; west Kyrenia for beaches and gardens.
  • What to eat Cypriot meze, grilled fish, hellim and şeftali kebab.
  • Best time April–June and September–November for warm, comfortable days.
  • Bring UK three-pin adaptors are not needed—Cyprus uses Type G plugs.
