What To Expect
Bellapais Monastery
Today we start the day by driving to Kyrenia and visiting one of the nicest historical sights at the area. Gothic abbey was a Lusignan foundation for Augustinian canons. It is one of the nicest Monasteries in Middle East which is built on the slopes of Kyrenia Mountains. It was used as a Monastery until the 16th century when Ottomans came to the island. The Monastery is located at the Bellapais village which is one of the unique villages of the area. Lawrence Durell had also lived in the village which he wrote his book ' The Bitter Lemons of Cyprus'. After the visit of the Monastery will have a short walk in this beautiful village.
St Barnabas Monastery and Icon Museum
After driving from Kyrenia to Famagusta our stop will be at the St. Barnabas Monastery. Barnabas has very important role in Christianity.

5.00Sirin ( pronounced Sheerin) was a fabulous tour guide! Starting out by going through the crossing point at Ledra was super easy from Nicosia and very interesting. She was there on the other side timely and met us to start out adventure. As we shared a cup of coffee in Bellapais, she shared some history and went through a map of the region. Sirin has a vast knowledge of the country and we enjoyed our day with her!
A perfect day in Kyrenia and Famagusta
