Kyrenia
The seaside city of Kyrenia, Kyrenia, Girne (in Greek: Κερύνεια) is an insanely popular city in Northern Cyprus. A very picturesque town with crystal clear waters and mountains. There are many historical cultural monuments here. Kyrenia has grown from a small town to a large metropolis in recent years. Tourists come here every year, as there is a mild climate and the city itself is perfectly located.
Kyrenia is a port city. And there are also many different casinos. Hundreds of thousands of tourists come just to play. And what does it have to do with it legally! It is called Las Vegas in Cyprus, because of the numerous gambling houses and slot machines. It can be reached by bus from Larnaca within 1.5-2 hours. And also directly from Turkey: by ferry or convenient air service.
What can you see in Kyrenia?
The old part of the city is chic for walking. Here you can see the old mosque and the Greek bell tower. You can also go out along the bay, where many picturesque beauties of the city are located. If you are a lover of seascapes, you can rent a yacht in the port. You can also go to the Kyrenia Fortress, the Church of the Archangel Michael. For example, visit the Abbey of Bellapais, Buffavento Castle or Cantara Castle near the city. But the castle of St. Hilarion will be remembered for a long time. After all, it is located on the top of the mountains, which offers unforgettable views.
Nicosia
Nicosia (from Greek – Lefkosia; Turkish – Lefkosha) is the only capital in the world divided into two states. One part of the city belongs to the Republic of Cyprus and the other to the TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus). The city is located in the heart of the island. In the picturesque valley of Mesaoria: between the Troodos mountain ranges and the Kyrenia Mountains. It is one of the most ancient capitals in the world, with a history of more than 4,000 years.
Now Nicosia combines the hustle and bustle of the capital city and the historical past. The Venetian column was a symbol of the domination of Venice, even in the distant past. The column itself is made of granite and reaches a height of about 7 m. This is the architecture of the Ottoman Empire. Büyük Han is presented in the form of 4 buildings with two floors. In total, it has 68 rooms.
Famagusta
It’s an amazing city that focuses on a lot of attractions. It is shrouded in the mysteries of the past and has preserved the indescribable atmosphere of ancient years. Famagusta is a small port city. Of course, the ancient ruins of the city of Salamis will leave a lasting impression on you.
