Where history comes alive

Many cultures have influenced our beautiful island over the centuries, leaving their footprints in the form of castles and churches, walled cities and monasteries. In North Cyprus, you never have to travel far to see the legacy of our rich history. Where should you begin?

Perhaps the three Crusader castles that look down from the Kyrenia mountain range; the enchanting Bellapais Abbey in the mountain foothills; the walled city of Famagusta, fought over by competing civilisations and peppered with numerous ruined churches and ravaged by a turbulent history. Don't forget Salamis, a huge attraction with seemingly endless ruined structures. Kyrenia Castle contains a range of informative displays, letting you share some of its past within the imposing walls.
In Karpas, visit the old Roman harbour of Ayios Philon, maybe snorkelling out to see the underwater ruins, or take a trip up to the end of this deserted peninsula and visit the World Heritage site of the Apostolos Andreas Monastery. It's dedicated to St. Andrew, said to be the first person to be called for priesthood by Jesus Christ. And look out for the more recent influences of British colonial times, as well as the glistening mosques that decorate the landscape.

From east to west, discover a diverse history through the many footprints left by the numerous cultures that have crossed the lands of North Cyprus.
