About Kyrenia
Kyrenia (Girne) is a city on the north coast of Cyprus, known for its cobblestoned old town and horseshoe-shaped harbor. The ancient Kyrenia Castle is a large fortification with a dungeon accessible by a stone bridge. The castle houses the Shipwreck Museum, with a shipwreck from the 3rd century B. C. The nearby Icon Museum displays religious icons inside the restored Greek Orthodox Archangelos Michael Church.
