Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus
On this visit to Cyprus we decided to make a day trip to the northern coast. This is the busy harbour of Kyrenia - a lovely location with lots of places to eat and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the harbour despite the heat!
To reach the northern part of the island it is necessary to cross the United Nations Buffer Zone {The Green Line} which has separated the two parts of Cyprus since the Turkish invasion of 1974. On entering the north a sign welcomes you to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus but in reality the state is not recognised by any country in the world apart from Turkey.
