Sirin ( pronounced Sheerin) was a fabulous tour guide! Starting out by going through the crossing point at Ledra was super easy from Nicosia and very interesting. She was there on the other side timely and met us to start out adventure. As we shared a cup of coffee in Bellapais, she shared some history and went through a map of the region. Sirin has a vast knowledge of the country and we enjoyed our day with her!

Kyrenia er en liten sommer by med mange tilbud til reisende. Sentrum er ikke så stor og det går an å gå de fleste steder. Det er flere fine strender i nærheten av byen, og mat og restauranter. Det er mye å se ikke langt fra Kyrenia som f.eks. i Esentepe eller i Famagusta. Men inn i byen vil jeg sterk anbefale en tur til Saray hamam. Det var en ypperlig opplevelse. Nihawas restauranter er også noe for seg både fiske restauranten eller kjøtt restauranten på den andre siden av gata. En annen bra restaurant er Nima. Alle disse ligger ved hovedgata langs sjøen.
