Paphos Kyrenia, St. Hilarion & Bellapais Abbey Tour
A Journey Across Cyprus
This tour takes you from Paphos to the northern part of Cyprus, where a different side of the island awaits. Crossing into the north, you’ll be greeted by dramatic mountain ranges, centuries-old castles, and charming coastal towns. It’s a unique opportunity to experience Cyprus as a land of contrasts, where diverse cultures and histories meet.
Kyrenia and Its Historic Harbour
Your journey includes a stop in Kyrenia, a picturesque coastal town famous for its medieval harbour. Surrounded by Venetian-era walls, the old harbour is filled with fishing boats, cafés, and stunning views of the Mediterranean. The town itself boasts cobbled streets, markets, and a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere.
St. Hilarion Castle – A Fairy-Tale Fortress
High in the Kyrenia mountains lies St. Hilarion Castle, often described as the inspiration for fairy tales. Its dramatic towers, crumbling walls, and panoramic views create an unforgettable impression. Exploring the castle feels like stepping into the pages of history, where legends of knights and queens still linger.
Bellapais Abbey – Serenity Among the Mountains
The final highlight is Bellapais Abbey, a Gothic masterpiece tucked into the hills above Kyrenia. Once home to Augustinian monks, its elegant cloisters and stone arches create an atmosphere of peace and reflection. From the abbey, you can admire sweeping views of the sea and mountains, making it one of the most enchanting spots on the island.
