Traveling to Kyrenia will allow you to experience the rich history, natural beauty and cultural heritage of this amazing city in Northern Cyprus.
Kyrenia, also known as Girne, is a city on the northern coast of Cyprus. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, known for its beautiful beaches, scenic harbor, and historic castle.
Kyrenia is situated on the slopes of the Kyrenia Mountains and is surrounded by beautiful landscapes of pine forests, olive groves, and citrus orchards. The city’s historic centre is filled with narrow streets, traditional buildings, and historic landmarks.
One of the main attractions in Kyrenia is the Kyrenia Castle, which was originally built by the Byzantines in the 7th century and later expanded by the Venetians and Ottomans. The castle now houses a museum with exhibits on the city’s history and culture.
Another showplace in Kyrenia is St. Hilarion Castle. This medieval castle is perched on a hilltop overlooking Kyrenia and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area. It is believed to have inspired Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. You can take beautiful and picturesque photos from the top of St. Hilarion Castle.
Our next destination is Bellapais Abbey. It is one of Cyprus’s most beautiful monuments of Gothic architecture, built by the Crusaders in the early 13th century. From the top of the ruins, there is a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean Sea and Kyrenia. The two-tiered hall of the monastery’s refectory has been well preserved to our days. The refectory has excellent acoustics, which is why music festivals are held in this area every year. Bellapais Abbey has a rich history that begins with its foundation and construction. Over the centuries, the Abbey has gone through different periods of prosperity and decline, experiencing the domination of the Genoese, Turks and English. Each era left its mark on the architecture and history of this place.
