Highlights
Cross into Northern Cyprus and discover one of the Mediterranean's most enchanting destinations on this full-day Kyrenia day trip from Paphos.
Nestled between the dramatic Kyrenia Mountains and the sparkling sea, Kyrenia is a city where centuries of history and timeless charm come together in perfect harmony.
Your first stop is the dramatic St. Hilarion Castle — a medieval fortress with breathtaking panoramic views, said to have inspired Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Next, explore the magnificent Kyrenia Castle — built by the Byzantines in the 7th century, later shaped by Venetians and Ottomans, now housing a fascinating cultural museum. Stroll the charming Kyrenia harbour and sip a coffee overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean.
The day ends at the serene Bellapais Abbey — a breathtaking 13th-century Gothic masterpiece whose ancient walls carry stories of Genoese, Turkish, and British rule.
Itinerary
Saint Hilarion Castle
40 minsAdmission Ticket FreeClimbing to St. Hilarion Castle is like stepping straight into a fairy tale. Named after the hermit Hilarion who sought solitude here in the 6th century, this extraordinary medieval fortress clings dramatically to the clifftops of the Kyrenia Mountains — each ancient gate, crumbling watchtower, and stone staircase revealing more breathtaking views than the last. Legend says fairies once roamed these heights — and standing at the top, gazing across the shimmering Mediterranean, it's not hard to believe. Said to have inspired Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle, this is one of the most magical spots in all of Cyprus.Kyrenia Castle
40 minsAdmission Ticket FreeStep into the irresistible charm of Kyrenia — where ancient stone arches frame colourful souvenir shops, sleek yachts bob alongside traditional fishing boats, and the laughter from waterfront cafés mingles with centuries of history. At the heart of it all stands the magnificent Kyrenia Castle — a fortress that has survived Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman rule, reinventing itself through every era while losing none of its grandeur. A place of legends, secrets, and stories that refuse to be forgotten.Kyrenia Harbour
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeTake your time and soak up the magic of Kyrenia Harbor — stroll along the waterfront, savour fresh seafood at a harborside taverna, or simply sit back with a coffee and watch the boats drift by. One of the most picturesque harbors in the entire Mediterranean — and a perfect moment to breathe it all in.Bellapais Monastery
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreePerched high in the Kyrenia Mountains with sweeping views of the sparkling Mediterranean, Bellapais Abbey is one of the most hauntingly beautiful spots in all of Northern Cyprus. This stunning 13th-century Gothic masterpiece — built by Crusaders and shaped by centuries of Genoese, Turkish, and British rule — wraps you in a profound sense of timeless peace. Wander through sun-dappled arches and serene courtyards and understand why writers, musicians, and dreamers have been drawn here for generations.
