Girne is the “Tourism capital” of Northern Cyprus and is probably one of the loveliest locations anywhere in the Mediterranean. With it is horseshoe shaped harbour dominated by Girne Castle and antique warehouses , which have become cafes, restaurants, and bars. The atmosphere is magical. The backdrop to the town is the Five Finger Mountain range peaked, just behind the town, by Richard ten Lionheart’s St.Hilarion Castle
The harbour is the main focal point of the town. Join the locales in an early evening stroll past the multi-coloured fishing boats and yachts. Then settle down in one of the cafes and watch the world go by.
Girne boasts a wide variety of hotels and guesthouses. It also offers an array of restaurand,both local and international. Local restaurants generally offer meze ,which is a collection of small appetizers ,followed by kebabs or fish. There are also some restaurants, which specialise in Cypriot home cooking serving local vegetable dishes such as molohiya and kolokas . those who enjoy French, Italian, Indian, Pakistani ,Chinese and English cuisine are also well catered for.
Girne is ideal as a base for a holiday in Northern Cyprus or as a holiday destination in itself.
