Kyrenia District

The Kyrenia District extends along the northern Mediterranean coast of Cyprus, featuring a mountainous landscape that descends into clear blue waters.

The district transformed from an ancient Greek settlement into a strategic administrative region, hosting multiple civilizations including Byzantine, Frankish, and Venetian rulers.

Each village within the district maintains specific traditions, from local food preparations to seasonal celebrations that combine Greek and Turkish cultural elements.

Visitors can reach the district through Ercan International Airport, with regular shuttle services connecting to major towns and accommodations throughout the region.

The district contains forty-four distinct communities, including notable settlements such as Bellapais with its medieval abbey and Karavas with its citrus orchards.
