Situated on the north coast of Cyprus, Kyrenia, with its 6,000 year long history, unique
remains of countless civilisations, miles of natural beaches, calm sea, and mild climate
is the perfect holiday resort. Bounded to the north by the sea and to the south by the
Besparmak Mountain range, it offers the benefits of both sea and mountain air, and is
thus an ideal resort for health and relaxation- indeed, many foreigners have retired here.
The beautiful harbour is dominated by a majestic castle which houses a museum containing
the remains of an ancient ship which was salvaged from the sea. There are several
mosques and churches to see in the town, and the Museum of Folk Arts, and of Decorative
Arts and Painting are well worth a visit. |
