Kyrenia Castle – A Journey Through Cyprus’ Coastal History
Kyrenia Castle, also known as Girne Castle, stands proudly at the entrance of Kyrenia Harbour and is one of Northern Cyprus’ most iconic historical sites. Originally built during the Byzantine period and later expanded by the Venetians and Ottomans, the fortress has played a central role in the island’s defense for centuries.
Today, visitors can walk along the high stone walls, explore ancient towers and chambers, and discover incredible exhibits such as the Shipwreck Museum, which houses one of the oldest trading ships ever found.
On this Private Kyrenia Tour, you’ll wander through a harbor town where Venetian fortresses, Ottoman courtyards, and coastal cafés create a picture of timeless beauty.
Step across the border and discover another face of Cyprus. The north holds a special charm – and Kyrenia (Girne) is its shining gem on the Mediterranean.
The old harbor invites you to stroll, shop, and pause for a coffee as fishing boats sway in the sun. Above it all rises the mighty Kyrenia Castle, guarding the bay for centuries.
Whether you choose to combine your Private Kyrenia Tour with the serene Bellapais Monastery or the legendary St. Hilarion Castle, this day in Northern Cyprus is filled with history, culture, and breathtaking views — all at your own pace and entirely private.
