Kyrenia's Unmissable Treasures
Kyrenia features a diverse array of historical and natural landmarks. The Saint Hilarion Castle sits atop the Kyrenia mountain range, while the harbor-side Kyrenia Castle houses a 4th-century BC Greek merchant vessel in its Shipwreck Museum. Nearby, the 13th-century Bellapais Abbey stands as a prime example of Gothic architecture. Natural sites include Alagadi Turtle Beach, a significant nesting ground for green and loggerhead turtles, and the ancient city of Lambousa, which contains rock-cut tombs and Roman-era fish tanks.
