Kyrenia, Ancient port city on the northern coast of Cyprus.
Kyrenia extends along a crescent-shaped bay, protected by mountains in the south and featuring a medieval castle overlooking the Mediterranean harbor.
Archaeological discoveries from a shipwreck near the harbor in 1965 demonstrate Kyrenia's significant role in Mediterranean maritime trade during ancient times.
The city maintains a diverse heritage through its architecture, combining Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman elements visible in religious buildings and fortifications.
The harbor area contains numerous restaurants serving fresh seafood, while the old town presents narrow stone streets with local craft shops.
Kyrenia Castle houses the remains of one of the oldest shipwrecks in the world, dating back to the 4th century BC.
