Holidays in Kyrenia in Northern Cyprus

Holidays in Kyrenia are by far the most popular choice for travellers visiting North Cyprus. It is easy to understand the charm of this beautiful harbour town. A highlight of your Kyrenia holiday is sure to be dinner on the harbour-front, watching the locals stroll by, and admiring the view of the dramatic Kyrenia castle. Sip a brandy sour as you watch the sun set or enjoy shopping for souvenirs in the narrow streets of old Kyrenia.

Holiday in one of the surrounding villages, set in the foothills of the Five Finger mountains, or choose a coastal village, perfect for beach-lovers and for swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the coast around Kyrenia. Holiday makers are drawn to the peaceful village of Bellapais, made famous by Lawrence Durrell, with its atmospheric ruined Abbey. Don’t miss out on a visit to St. Hilarion, the Crusader castle perched high above the coast, which is sure to be a highlight of your holiday in Kyrenia.
