The historic Kyrenia harbour is situated on TOA of Cyprus and has a 6,000 year long history, dating back to the time of the Byzantines. The harbour is a small but charming place, where one will find everything from calm ambiance and soothing atmosphere to beautiful views and stunning surroundings.

The harbour is appreciated for its natural beauty. In its heyday it was lined with warehouses, stored with fruits of the countryside whilst they awaited export. There has been a settlement at Kyrenia since the 10th century BC, but the harbour today was shaped most by the Venetians.

At the entrance to the harbour is the Byzantine Kyrenia castle which has been influenced by the Lusignans and then the Venetians amongst others. Originally built as a roman fort, the impressive castle is stacked full of history and is now home to an informative museum which houses the oldest shipwreck in the world dating back to the 16th century.
