The Region
Kyrenia (Girne) is possibly the best holiday area on the island, bringing history to visitors while entertaining them. You can catch the nostalgia by visiting the historic places and travelling around its streets, sensing the smells of jasmine and orange blossom. You can taste its delicious cuisine in the plentiful restaurants and sip your coffee at coffee houses during summer evenings. You can enjoy an environment of people laughing, or let the smell of the sea and the sound of the waves dreamily drift you away to other worlds.
Region Features
Kyrenia (Girne), as it is locally called, is full of beautiful landscape and European Heritage Sites spanning over 9,000 years!
Some amazing sites include:
The Venetian built harbour in Kyrenia, reputed to be the finest in the Mediterranean
The Bellapais Abbey
St. Hilarion Castle
Bufaventa Castle
Turtle Beach at Alagadi where visitors get to witness the rare sea turtles come ashore

Club Acapulco and Escape Beach Club
Monastery of Sinai
Baldkoten Ottoman Graveyard
The Village
The village offers stunning views of both the sea and of the second highest mountain in the Besparmak mountain range. The village of Karsiyaka is famous for its historical monastery that sits high up in the mountain. You will find life goes on in the village pretty much the same as it did years ago, with the area still relatively undeveloped and perfect for those wanting to get away from it all.
Karsiyaka has flat land along the coast that stretches 2 to 3 miles from the sea and up to the steep Kyrenia mountain range. You will find two excellent restaurants at Karsiyaka bay, a large beautiful bay mostly secluded. One of the most scenic drives must be the drive from Karsiyaka to St. Hilarion Castle, once you pass the lovely Kozan mountain retreat and restaurant where many outdoor activities are offered such as horse riding, mountain biking, Jeep safaris and walking or simply take a picnic, the weekly Kleftico is worth the journey alone!
