Gambaran keseluruhan

Kyrenia (Girne) is a top destination on Cyprus' northern coast, known for its beaches, scenic harbor, and rich history. Nestled between the Kyrenia Mountains and the sea, the city boasts charming streets, traditional architecture, and historic sites.
A key attraction is Kyrenia Castle, originally built by the Byzantines in the 7th century and later expanded by the Venetians and Ottomans. It now houses a museum showcasing the city’s history. Another highlight is St. Hilarion Castle, perched on a hilltop with breathtaking views. Legend says it inspired Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle, making it a perfect spot for photos.
Next, we visit Bellapais Abbey, a stunning 13th-century Gothic monument built by the Crusaders. Its well-preserved refectory hosts annual music festivals due to its remarkable acoustics. The Abbey’s history reflects influences from the Genoese, Turks, and British, adding to its cultural significance.

Saint Hilarion Castle
  • 40m
  • Tidak termasuk tiket masuk
This is a medieval castle in northern Cyprus, named after the hermit Hilarion, who lived here in a hermitage around the 6th century. Later, presumably in the 7th century, a monastery was built on the site of the hermitage. Over time, the monastery was fortified by the Byzantine authorities and used to protect the islands on the northern coast during Arab raids. It is definitely worth visiting the castle of St. Hilarion, both for the picturesque ruins of the medieval castle, and for the incredible views of Kyrenia Bay and the city of Kyrenia. Amazing photos, vivid impressions and exciting emotions are guaranteed to every visitor.
Kyrenia Castle
  • 40m
  • Tidak termasuk tiket masuk
This is one of the must-see places in Northern Cyprus. This powerful fortress is unique in that, having repeatedly changed its appearance, owners and purpose throughout its history, it has survived like no other monument of such an impressive age, and today it can delight tourists with its grandeur, legends and secrets. Inside the castle, visitors can explore various rooms and exhibitions, including the Shipwreck Museum, which displays the remains of a Greek merchant ship from the 4th century BC, discovered off the coast of Kyrenia, and the Torture Museum, which occupies the dungeons of the northern part of the building. The museum's exhibits recreate scenes of the torture of knights imprisoned during the reign of the Lusignans.
Bellapais Monastery
  • 30m
  • Tidak termasuk tiket masuk
Bellapais Abbey is considered the most striking example of medieval Gothic architecture in Northern Cyprus, but unfortunately it is now largely in ruins. Its foundation is attributed to Hugo III, the first king of the Lusignan dynasty. The stunning architecture of Bellapais Abbey, which includes a beautiful cloister, a refectory and a church with magnificent stained glass windows, will not leave you indifferent. The church also houses a rare 14th-century double pulpit, used for sermons to monks and parishioners. Walking around the monastery premises, you can see many artefacts. The premises are impressive for their acoustics and high vaulted walls.
