Kyrenia & Bellapais Holidays

Welcome to Kyrenia & Bellapais

Almost dwarfed by the dramatic range known as the Five Finger Mountains, Kyrenia is surrounded by impressive scenic beauty in an area steeped in compelling history.

Kyrenia basks in the glorious summer sunshine waiting to welcome you to a jewel of a harbour town that has everything a traveller could possibly want.

Kyrenia Holiday Overview


The picturesque horseshoe-shaped harbour is dominated by the Venetian castle where you can visit the world’s oldest recovered shipwreck. The enchanting harbour is the place for an evening promenade. In times gone by these harbour side premises were carob warehouses, now they are charming seafront restaurants, cafes and bars. Relax with a long, cold brandy sour - the local speciality - admire the views and soak up an environment that is of yesteryear.

The foothills of the mountains are the natural habitat for a vast variety of flora and fauna. Spring is the time to spot the rare orchids, which grow wild here. It is also a popular time of year with keen ramblers.

Nestling in the foothills are sleepy villages, where life continues today in the same rhythms as it has done for centuries. The Castle of St. Hilarion perches high above the town, surveying the coastline below, its fairytale towers appearing to rise from the sheer rock, affording stunning views of the glittering coastline below.

The coastline around Kyrenia with its clear, warm waters is blessed with fine sandy bays and rocky coves, so the beach-lover will not be disappointed.

"We just returned from a week in Cappadocia Turkey. Diamond star Experience were really helpful and friendly throughout our experience with all aspects of the holiday. Our flight was delayed and I received contact from Oguzhan and Rica telling me that they had arrange later pick up from the airport when arriving in Turkey. Mustafa our driver was warm and friendly throughout our stay .The transfer and 3 day tours were fantastic , Our guide was really knowledgeable and looked after us while we toured this remarkable place The highlight was the Balloon ride in the morning a truly magical experience . I can not fault any part of the holiday and the service of Diamond Travel Experience . Easy to contact through what’s app anytime which was a great touch . I would strongly recommend Diamond star Experience for booking a holiday , We will def book again with them when returning to Turkey. Thanks and well done ! A truly wonderful Break" Mrs Wilson  - 21 Aug 2025

"A week's trip on Perla del Mar captained by Mustafa, with chef Dohan, and crew Cem, Emre and Meric turned out to be the best family holiday we had ever booked. Akin's recommendation of the boat was spot on. Dohan's menu and cooking was absolutely excellent. The crew went out of their way to assist us at every opportunity and their care and attention to the children on the trip was exemplary. There wasn't a single fault that on the whole trip, the transfers worked perfectly, the crew were there to greet us at Marmaris and led us through the alleys to the waterside where the amazing boat in front of us was to be ours for a week. We were all taken aback and realised that Mum's mad dream was coming to fruition. A holiday found by google, sold to us by Akin who took the trouble to explain everything turned out to be beyond the dreams of all of us. Canoeing in quiet coves, swimming and snorkelling to our hearts content then served with drinks and snacks before amazing meals and enjoying the trips between coves became the order of each day. I can firmly recommend this holiday to anyone. It was simply amazing." Christine - 25 May 2025

" We went to Diamond Star experience because they offer multi-centre holidays and had good ratings. We were in no way disappointed with what was organised. We said that we wanted a few days in Athens and then a week on a relatively quiet island. Akin made a proposal (Athens then Naxos) and then, when we agreed, organised everything. The Athens hotel was central and accessible to the main sites and to restaurants, and was of very good quality. The choice of Naxos for the island was equally good and we stayed in an excellent three star hotel on the edge of the town within easy reach of the beach and restaurants. All transfers were efficiently organised and even when there was a transport hiccup (our fault!) there was a phone call from the Athens back-up team within the hour to find out what had happened.
Thank you very much, Akin and staff, for a really enjoyable holiday and for service which can be easily be recommended.
