The ancient port of Kyrenia Castle has been used by many states during the centuries. The port of Kyrenia Castle was built in the 7th century under the Byzantine administration. The historic port is one of the most beautiful spots of the Mediterranean and Cyprus.
The Great Inn
Built by Muzaffer Pasha, the first Ottoman Governor of Cyprus in 1572, the inn is one of the largest inns in Cyprus. Great Inn, which consists of 68 rectangular rooms that look like each other and has a small mosque in the middle of its courtyard, is similar to the structure of the Ottoman era bazaar business centers in Anatolia.
