Boat Trip

Kyrenia is a busy town on the north coast of Cyprus.

The harbour, with the restaurants and bars, both outdoors and indoors, surrounding it, the spectacular background of the Pentadaktylos Besparmak (Five Finger) mountain range, and the boats coming and going, is a very pleasant place to while away time and watch the world go by.

A boat trip was a very enjoyable and leisurely way to see the coast, and included lunch and opportunities to swim.

Friendly Locals

On our other Cyprus pages, you can find out about our tour of the Karpas Peninsula, and our visits to Salamis and Famagusta and historic sites in and around Kyrenia, some in positions affording outstanding views of the coast and surrounding countryside, as well as our experiences of hotels and car-hire, and a restaurant that we particularly enjoyed.

You can find our full album of pictures of Kyrenia and northern Cyprus at Webshots.

Your very nice page brings back good memories. Must be so much easier now flying via Larnaca rather than Istanbul. Could be tempted back.....
