Create an itinerary including Kyrenia Harbour

With a recognizably carefree Mediterranean feel, Kyrenia Harbour makes you feel at home among its stone buildings and charming boats tied at the docks. Overlooking the 16th-century Venetian castle on one side and showcasing the dramatic Besparmak Mountains on the other, the harbor provides a surprising break from the hot and dusty capital city and its surroundings. Check out an array of specialty shops, cafes, and bistros, and look for clothes and spices at colorful Middle Eastern-styled markets. Stroll the cobbled streets and take in the views, or stop for a cup of hot Turkish coffee. Work out when and for how long to visit Kyrenia Harbour and other Kyrenia attractions using our handy Kyrenia online travel route builder.

The bars are very relaxing. The bottle Effes is all you need, as well as a portion of chips with mayo.

It was great to just stroll around without having to worry about hordes of people and lots of vehicles.

This might be the prettiest place in all of Cyprus. A place where you expect Jack Sparrow to walk by ... Castle is impressive. Fresh fish in the harbor was very good. I will be back for sure. My wife spent hours in the gold shops :-)

Lovely harbour reached from the town is lined with a nice selection of fish restaurants and cafes overlooking the pretty harbour and the majestic castle, which holds the world's oldest shipwreck! Entrance fee was expetionally cheap too!! Trips on traditional Turkish Gulet boats are a must at good value. Stay until the sun sets over the Med for a beautiful view.

Normally a very busy, bustling area with lots of restaurants competing for your business. Be determined and try them all to collect the best deal. Midday is generally quieter and you can check out the menus in peace.
