Kyrenia was once one of the most important cities in Cyprus but since the Turkish occupation it has developed into a touristy hot stop with a sleepy feel to it. The harbour is dominated by the Venetian Castle which now houses a museum (additional entry fee applies if you wish to enter the museum)

The Byzantines begun fortifying Cyprus against Arab raiders in the 11th century. Saint Hilarion, together with the castles of Buffavento and Kantara, formed the defence of the island with expansive views across the North coast from the mountains above Kyrenia.

Because of its almost impregnable position, St Hilarion’s was one of the last castles to be taken by the Crusaders in 1191

This tour lasts around 6-6.5 hours and your own private guide will show you the delights of this historic area. purchase some souvenirs or enjoy a traditional lunch in one of the harbourside restaurants.
