It was built as a harbor during the Venetian period. A chain tower is dating the same period. The harbor was built as 'U'shaped. The Customs office was built during the Colonial time. Nowadays the harbor is used as a marina for the daily boat tours. Also there are many cafes that one can enjoy to drink alchohol or soft drink
This is a military cemetery which dates back to 16th century Ottoman period. The moseleaum in the centre is believed that it belongs to one of the commanders from Ottoman garrison.
The city was surrounded by walls during the Lusignan period. This tower is the one remaining from those years.

Wonderful trip to visit Northern Cyprus from Nicosia guided by a professional guide Who talked us about life and history in Northern Cyprus. Suha Sirin Is a very nice, gentle, prepared guide!
The whole trip to Kyrenia was an incredible experience! Our tour guide, Sirin, was very kind, competent, and truly passionate. We learned so much from her about Cyprus's history, which made the sightseeing even more special. The organization was perfect and stress-free. Sirin picked us up in Nicosia, crossed the border with us, and drove us around to show us the most beautiful spots in Kyrenia by car. After the tour, she dropped us back in Nicosia safely. If you are looking for the best trip in Cyprus with a comfortable, private atmosphere, you will definitely have it with her. Highly recommended! :)
Thanks a lot for the 5* review. Hope to see you again.
We had a wonderful day visiting Bellapais Abbey and the city of Kyrenia, with its narrow streets, the picturesque harbor, and its historic castle. Sirin was an exceptional guide: knowledgeable, kind, very helpful, and empathetic. She made this day memorable for the wonders she showed us and the warmth of her personal connection.
Thanks for the review. Once again, I am happy to hear that you had a wonderful day. Hoping to see you in Cyprus again in the future.
With my London guests, we toured historic sites like Bellapais, Girne Castle, and Charming Suha. shared their insights with us. Very pleased with their 4-day visit to Cyprus.
Sizlerle olmak benim için de çok keyifliydi. Bu gelişinizde adanın farklı yerlerini birlikte gezmek ümidiyle.
Kyrenia castle in the old marina is a must to see. The shipwreck museum in the castle dates back to 300 BC - the oldest in the world. Bellapais Monastery was our second stop of the day. Located on the Kyrenia Mountain. Typical gothic style architecture. I did this tour with Sirin. She was flexible with the start time and I enjoyed the local coffee when we enjoyed outside the monastery. If you are looking for a half day tour I highly recommend this one.
Yes, I can always be flexible with timing, as my tours are all private. The photos that you have taken are unbeatable. Happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour.
Kyrenia was simply beautiful, and what made it even more special was how naturally Şirin shared her love for the place. She has this wonderful way of weaving stories into every stop, without ever overwhelming you. It felt like walking through the past with someone who not only knows the history, but genuinely enjoys sharing it. The atmosphere at the harbor, the view from Bellapais Abbey, the castle. Everything was elevated by her presence and attention to detail.
It was a great day with your friend. We'll have to head out again to a different destination on your next visit to Cyprus.
Anyone visiting Cyprus is bound to tour Girne Castle and the Bellapais Monastery. We were very pleased with this trip. Recommended for everyone.
