Kyrenia Harbour, Girne

Kyrenia Harbour is an evergreen place to visit. View to the harbour, from the top of the Kyrenia castle is really soothing and touching. You can watch the array of yachts, boats at the inside circumference of the harbour, looks like the semi-circled moon.
But during summer, it is fully packed, sometimes in the evening, you may not get the blank space in the restaurants, bars and have to wait for a long time. The Kyrenia Castle adds beauty to it.


You can have a short Mediterranean walk from here on the boats, yachts. We enjoyed the harbour till the rear end. It is the central place for visitors coming North Cyprus. You will never bore here and enjoy the nights in the pubs, bars, restaurants, Casino with music and dance.


You can enter here just walking through the charming Kyrenia Town-Center (Downtown) and have all reasons to enjoy, to relax, to roam, to eat and to drink. Kyrenia Harbour is a horseshoe shaped full of colorful surrounding and appreciated for its natural beauty. Where else you want to be!


I enjoyed here during summer (Easter) and winter (Christmas) both times. You shouldn't skip it in your NC trip. Wanna to have a look to Kyrenia Castle and other places in North Cyprus.

Salamis Ruins, Famagusta

Ruins of Salamis (Salamis Ruins) is situated alongside the sandy beach. Salamis was known as the important ancient city in NC and famous for its ruins. It was ruined due to raids, earthquakes, and tidal waves.
You need plenty of time to visit it because it is approx 1 Km long site to see. The crowd was enjoying here and came for the picnic (As we saw near the car parking area). When I visited NC first time, we were late. So just taken some snaps from outside and enjoyed near the promenade (pier) area. I think last entry timing is 4 pm approx.
You can watch out - the amphitheater, the Gymnasium, mosaics, the Roman baths, ruined pillars, inside it. The amphitheater is sometimes used as a living venue for theater and concerts to show north Cyprus tradition. Have a hat/cap to cover the head during summer season.
Salamis is an easily reachable destination from all parts of NC - Kyrenia, Famagusta, or Iskele, and famous among the tourists here.Wanna to have a look to other places in North Cyprus.
