Question 1

Overview

Accepted Answer

We'll pick you up from either Kyrenia or Nicosia, ready to whisk you away on a journey through history and breathtaking scenery.

Our first stop is the magical St. Hilarion Castle. Imagine a fairy-tale fortress, its whimsical towers and walls seemingly growing right out of the rugged mountainside! Perched dramatically at about 730 meters (2,400 feet) above sea level, the summit offers breathtaking panoramic views that stretch endlessly across the landscape.

Next, we continue to the remarkable Bellapais Monastery, an exquisite 13th-century masterpiece of Gothic architecture nestled in the foothills of the Kyrenia Mountains. This beautiful monastery and its charming village gained international fame thanks to Lawrence Durrell’s evocative memoir, Bitter Lemons of Cyprus.

Fortresses, Shipwrecks, and Charming Harbors

Then, we'll head into Kyrenia to visit Kyrenia Castle and its historic harbor. This formidable fortress, proudly guarding the harbor entrance, houses the renowned Shipwreck Museum. Prepare to be amazed by an ancient trading vessel dating back an incredible 2,300 years — the oldest ship ever salvaged from the ocean floor — along with its remarkably preserved cargo!

We'll conclude this unforgettable experience with a gentle stroll along Kyrenia’s picturesque harbor, soaking in its unique charm and relaxing atmosphere. Finally, we'll make our way back to our original meeting point.
