Girne (Kyrenia) at a glance

Girne (Kyrenia) is a historic harbour town on the north coast of Northern Cyprus, set at the foot of the Kyrenia (Beşparmak) Mountains. The horseshoe-shaped old harbour, lined with restaurants and cafés, is the heart of the town, and Kyrenia Castle at its eastern end, home to the Shipwreck Museum, draws many visitors. Bellapais Abbey lies in the nearby village of Beylerbeyi, and St Hilarion Castle sits high in the mountains above.

The road from Ercan Airport to Girne crosses the Kyrenia Mountains, so when planning your return transfer please allow enough time for the drive and airport procedures before your flight. Vehicles often cannot enter the narrow lanes around the old harbour; in that case your driver will meet you at the nearest accessible point. Your hotel name and full address in the booking are all we need.
