Just back from a week in Northern Cyprus. Stayed near the town of Kyrenia, which has a delightful old harbour. Our hotel ,the Ship Inn, sat beneath the mountain range that runs parallel to the Northern coast, with St Hilarion Castle perched above us. An amazing amount of well preserved archeaology in the area. The Persian palace at Vouni, the vast Roman remains at Salamis and the afore-mentioned Crusader castle of St Hilarion.
