Kerynia can safely be called the pearl of Northern Cyprus. Its fortunate location makes it fabulously beautiful and unique. A couple of kilometers on the south side there is a mountain chain closing off the town from the rest of the island and on the north side there is a splendid sea. This location along with the mild climate makes Kerynia a great holiday destination all year round. Once here, one gets the feeling that the city is specially concealed from the hustle and bustle, the rapidity and the restlessness. Measured life, relaxed northern Cypriots… No one rushes anywhere and does not keep track of time. This is the peculiarity of Kerynia.

But do not think that besides swimming in the sea and enjoying refreshments in the restaurants, there is nothing else to do. Excursions, water and mountain sports, beautiful natural backdrops for romantic photo shoots. The picturesque Kerynia mountains are lined with magnificent castles, and the coast is dotted with delightful beaches that offer a mesmerizing panorama of the setting sun. There’s plenty to see and do here that you can’t miss. The medieval Gothic Bellapais Abbey, the castle of St. Hilarion founded by an Egyptian monk, the snow-white Church of the Archangel Michael, the ruins of Buffavento Castle, the impressive historical site – the fortress of Kerynia , in the basement of which is housed the horrific Room of Torture.

As mentioned above, the city is beautiful in all seasons. But we advise you to visit in the spring. The thaw begins in early March, and in April you can bravely swim and dive in the sea waves. In addition, the influx of tourists is not large, you can easily enjoy the charming, blooming nature and the crystal water. Summers are usually very hot with temperatures up to 40 degrees above zero. Therefore, if you suffer from intolerance to high temperatures, it is better to choose another time for a trip to Kerynia. For example, in autumn. The swimming season here lasts till the end of October, it is hot enough during the day and warm enough in the evening to enjoy the night bouts under the open sky. But in November the weather is already showing its vagaries, because the rainy season begins. In fact, that’s how winter goes – unpredictable. Throughout the winter it may be raining cats and dogs, and sometimes the temperature rises to 15 degrees above zero. So it’s up to you to decide when it’s best to come to Kerynia .
