Geocache Description:

From its earliest days, Kyrenia has been in the thick of the commerce and maritime trade with its excellent strategic location although it never reached the status of a major port.

Ships would ply their trade down the Aegean coast of Turkey taking in some of the Greek islands like Samos and Rhodes before calling in to Kyrenia on the way to Egypt. The wavebraker and the second floor of the ancient toll office has been constructed in 1914. In 1987 the harbour has been opened for international trading and ferries. After the opening of a new harbour in the 90th in the east of Kyrenia, taking over all frights & ferries, the old harbour has been transformed into a tourist attraction keeping his status as a marina.
