harbor lined by flats, hotels, cafes, bars, and restaurants offering lots of
good places to eat where you can taste the local food. Kyrenia Castle is
situated next to the Kyrenia Harbor, the Kyrenia Castle is a complicated
mixture of building styles and worth visiting in North Cyprus. Behind
the Venetian castle walls, you will find St George Church, royal
constructions, Byzantine chapel or French dungeons. The ship in the
Shipwreck museum is estimated to have sunk around 300BC and up to
date, the oldest ship ever to be recovered from the seabed.
2) Bellapais Monastery
The Bellapais Abbey is truly one of the most tranquil places in North
Cyprus. It was founded at the beginning of the thirteen centuries. Most of
the Bellapais Abbey is visible today from the time of Hugh III. It is a
beautiful and elegant building depicting Gothic styles throughout the
stage of its development. A small courtyard is defended by a
machicolated gatehouse.
