CITIES OF NORTH CYPRUS
KYRENIA
Kyrenia is a picturesque coastal town known for its stunning harbor surrounded by rugged mountains. Kyrenia Castle, which dates back to the 7th century, is a must-visit. You can also stroll along the charming old harbor, lined with seafood restaurants and boutique shops. From here you can take a boat trip to discover the hidden beauty of the Mediterranean, including the famous Shipwreck Museum, home to a 2,300-year-old shipwreck. Also one and only golf club of North Cyprus called Korenium is located 10 km to the city center. Gillham Vineyard also favors Kyrenia as one of the best destination of the island with wine tasting and producing activities.
FAMAGUSTA
Famagusta is a city steeped in history, with well-preserved medieval walls and buildings dating back centuries. The city's most iconic sight is the haunted area of Varosha, abandoned and fenced off since the 1974 conflict, but now you'll have the chance to visit this amazing place on foot and by bike. The nearby ancient city of Salamis showcases stunning Roman ruins, including an impressive amphitheater and Roman baths. Famagusta's rich history makes it a fascinating destination for history buffs.
NICOSIA
Nicosia is the capital and largest city of Northern Cyprus. The city is different from others in that it is the last divided capital in the world, with a UN-supervised buffer zone separating the Greek Cypriot part of southern Cyprus from the Turkish part of northern Cyprus. Here, history and modernity live together in harmony. Don't miss the Selimiye Mosque, once a Gothic cathedral, and the Venetian walls surrounding the Old Town. Explore the bustling streets, lively markets and sample traditional Cypriot cuisine in the many restaurants.
GUZELYURT
Güzelyurt is a town famous for its citrus groves and fertile plains. It offers a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the busier cities on the coast. Visit the Church of St. Mamas, explore the Archaeological and Natural History Museum and don't forget to sample locally grown fruit and vegetables. If you are a nature lover, explore the beautiful Mediterranean Beach and the surrounding countryside.
