Girne-Kyrenia.
---------------------
Situated on the north coast of Cyprus, Kyrenia, with its 6,000 year long history, unique remains of countless civilisations, miles of natural beaches, calm sea, and mild climate is an idyllic Mediterranean town.
Bounded to the north by the sea and to the south by the greenery of the Besparmak (Fivefinger) Mountain range, it offers the most magnificent scenery on the island.
Kyrenia's charming and tiny harbour, full of yachts and fishing boats, is framed by the colossal hulk of its Crusader castle. With the backdrop of the jagged mountains behind and the calm sparkling sea in front, the harbour has an intoxicatingly serene atmosphere.
Kyrenia is an easy place to while away any time of the day... exploring shops, markets and local cafés in late morning, strolling in the narrow cobbled alleys behind the harbour in the afternoon, or stepping out for a brisk walk along the promenade and sea wall in the evening.
The beautiful harbour is dominated by the majestic Kyrenia Castle which houses a museum containing the remains of an ancient ship which was salvaged from the sea.
Overlooking the entrance to the harbour is Kyrenia Castle. Dating from the time of the Byzantines, its massive defences surround a complex mixture of building styles from centuries before and it is likely that there was a Roman fort here originally. Subsequently enlarged and strengthened by the Lusignans and then the Venetians, the castle is now home to many historical artefacts and is the current resting-place of the world's oldest shipwreck.
As the sun sets, Kyrenia harbour again becomes the focus of activity as the locals take their evening stroll and the cafés and bistros that face the sea prepare for their nightly trade. Crisp white linen and small vases of local flowers are lovingly arranged on tabletops to welcome the evening's guests to wine and dine in the cooling breeze.
There are several mosques and churches to see in the town, well worth a visit.
Just a few minutes drive away, lies the fairy-tale castle of St.Hilarion. Rumoured to be the original inspiration for Walt Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty', St Hilarion was built during the crusades and those intrepid enough to brave the long walk to its battlements will be rewarded with stunning views of Kyrenia and the whole of the island's northern coastline..

Hi Burak,
The sky is precious and add so much beauty to this composition. Excellent framing of the boats and good clarity and sharpness. The colours seem properly saturated giving the image a natural feel. Thanks Burak :-)

Olá Burak, wonderful gift to your sister. Don't know if I like more that beautiful painting on the sky, the view of all the boats or the pier in golden tones seen in the distance but it's a pleasure to look at the whole set.
Hope you had a good birthday and wish you a nice weekend ;-)

Bonjour, mon bon ami Burak,
Difficile de ne pas avoir envie de tout quitter pour aller admirer (au regard de la note) toutes ces merveilles édifiées depuis des milliers d'années !
Pour une photo prise fin janvier, difficile de se croire en hiver en contemplant cette très agréable vue qui est une véritable invitation à la promenade et à la découverte.
Très agréable composition.
Amical bonjour à votre soeur Zeynepe ! ;o)
Amitiés.
Philippe

Ciao Burak!
Mi fa piacere apprendere che Zeynep è tua sorella! Apprezzo molto i suoi lavori, anche nella tua galleria ci sono foto di qualità, siete due ottimi talenti! Apprezzo molto in questo scatto la definizione dei particolari dai primi piani sino al fondo! Veramente notevole! Un coktail perfetto di apparecchiatura tecnica e stile personale.
Saluti, Nino.

Very well done.
Thank You kindly for your comments on my photo also.
Have a great weekend!

Hello Burak,
Well composed and good color tone/sharpness!
I like the contrast between blue sky with white cloud and small ships/yachts that moors in port, and I think that sparing the sea and the sky to the half on the screen composition has succeeded technically.
It is a photograph in the Mediterranean sea where bright atmosphere is shown.
Regards,
mikio
