During the British colonial era the Dome was the poshest hotel in Kyrenia and the summer and weekend haunt of wealthy British expats. Although it has now been eclipsed by lavish new competitors, it has a nostalgic style and, with its location close to Kyrenia’s pretty harbour, is a handy base for exploring the region.

Overlooking the harbour, the Liman is a quietly stylish hotel that appears to make most of its profits from its small casino. Bow-tied doormen stand on duty day and night. The hotel’s outdoor restaurant across the street is a very pleasant place enjoy breakfast.
