A Bag recovered and a stroll through Girnea (Kyrenia)

---

Fortunately for us another minibus driver saw me running and asked if he could help. I told him the situation and he rang up the mini bus driver and told me that in 5 minutes I would have my bag back.

20 minutes the bag had arrived, and I joined Ivan and dad for lunch. Girnea (Kyrenia) wasn’t super big - and it was definitely possible to walk most of the city centre. The old town was really nice. We found a place to stay and set off to have a walk around the city centre. We walked past the boats and to the castle and during a delicious dinner, where I had a prawn Caesar salad we debated about taking a car for the hire the next day.

Note: As I couldn't locate my photos for this trip I have used some of my brothers photos. They are much the same as my photos and memories from the trip. Please have a look at his blog here.

Girnea (Kyrenia) castle is defiantly worth a visit. The city itself is really nice and was founded in 10^th century BC by Achaean settlers and for many centuries was one of the ten kingdoms of Cyprus.

The castle was built in the 7^th century by the Byzantines and expanded by the Lusignans and then by the Venetians. The view from the top was also a really great one to see even though it was raining and not so sunny I really enjoyed it.
