Kyrenia
Some background history
Throughout the millennia, the island of Cyprus, because of its strategic position in the Mediterranean, has been of
great political importance and was invaded many times by the Romans, Persians, Crusaders and Venetians who all left their
legacy on the island.
The more recent political history of Northern Cyprus, with over a quarter of a century of
diplomatic and commercial isolation, has meant that mass tourism has developed much more slowly and it has therefore
avoided the over-development and tourism of some other Mediterranean destinations.
The sites of ancient Cyprus include
the Roman port of Salamis, the Persian palace of Vouni and Greek Souli. Medieval Cyprus is represented by atmospheric
crusader castles, a Venetian castle picturesquely situated at the end of the harbour and the pretty ruins of the
Abbey of Bellapais.
Kyrenia is set on the northern coastline of the island. The picturesque harbour is the focal point of the town.
Here you will find numerous restaurants all vying with each other to offer the best local delicacies surround the
attractive harbour area.
The 7th Century Byzantine castle built to defend the town from attacks by the Arabs dominates the landscape.
Housed within the walls of the castle is the shipwreck museum, which exhibits one of the oldest commercial ships
in the world, which belonged to Alexander the Great.
There are a number of places of historical interest within easy reach of Kyrenia amongst which is the well-preserved
12th century Bellapais Abbey and village. Also St. Hilarion Castle, which is perched 2,000 feet above Kyrenia in the
Five Finger mountains, providing the visitor with a panoramic view of most of the northern coastline stretching from
the "Pan Handle" to Lapta.
