About Kyrenia Old Harbor

Docked by love

Love is the emotion you will harbor at Kyrenia's old harbor. Ancient yet modern with its lovable array of fish restaurants with fresh fish dipped in aromatic spices; experience an old-world haven at its best. Or just bob on a boat into the sunset. Here, the past has carved the future as most restaurants and bars have been built out of old Venetian dwellings or Carob warehouses. The Museum of Carob or Cipher House is not large; interesting nevertheless. We recommend an evening walk on the pier behind the tourist information office. There are live bands performing at many restaurants. The Byzantine Kyrenia Castle stands guard over the sea preserving a heritage that is as old as it is fulfilling. Here, is where your heart will find its anchor.
