Kyrenia Animal Rescue

Our organisation is an animal rescue charity. We receive no government help and are totally dependent on donations from local and international supporters. Currently we take care of over 350 homeless dogs and cats with the support of volunteers and staff. In 2017 we celebrated our 20th Anniversary and are proud of what we have achieved in that time. We will continue to care for the vulnerable stray animals in the Girne area. We welcome visits from members of the public who are encouraged to interact with the cats and dogs , walk dogs in our beautiful setting, groom the cats, kittens, puppies and dogs. Visitors are welcome any day from 9 am to 1pm - no need to book. Just turn up with sun hats, sun cream, water and lots of love - our residents will be delighted to see them.

This rescue shelter is truly a place of wonder. The staff and volunteers work tirelessly with all their love to make sure every dog and cat gets the individual attention and care they need until they hopefully find their forever home. Pens are cleaned every single day and it warms the heart to see so many wonderful wagging tails eager to greet you when you visit this wonderful haven for animals in need. It is clear that everyone who works there absolutely loves the animals and their job, and they couldn't be doing more to encourage and educate the local community about pet care and adoption. We fell in love with a pointer-retriever mix last Christmas when we were in Cyprus visiting my parents. His name at the time was Drew, and he was the biggest, sweetest, most joyful bundle my fiancee and I could have ever hoped for. We were informed that his previous adoption had fallen through, and I can only believe that it was because he was meant to be with us instead because on Christmas Eve, we decided we needed him no matter what and promptly signed the adoption papers to seal the deal. Drew was Canada bound! He is now a part of our small family and we cannot imagine life without him. We come home every day from work eager to see him, and he greets us like we are the rockstars of his world. His love knows no limits, and it is all thanks to Elaine, the director of KAR, and her amazing team that has brought our baby home to us. We are so blessed and grateful and we hope everyone who visits considers adoption or volunteering because the rewards you get are priceless when you look into your future fur baby's eyes and know you have also made a difference.

Family Business with handmade wood creations. The perfect option for personalized gifts and customized wooden signs. We use local timber from Troodos mountains using sustainable methods and eco-friendly materials and paints. Most of the timber is actually trees that were burned during wild fires in the summer. With our art we are giving these woods a second life. Bring your own new idea, and let us create a unique wooden plaque which will decorate your House, Office, Man Cave or She Shed ;-)

Cyprus Museum

Reviewed By JohnV248 - Bognor Regis, United Kingdom

There is so much in this museum and it is so well presented, including narratives on the exhibits. Fortunately, the museum is not swamped with visitors so you have plenty of time to absorb what you are seeing and to spend time by your favourite items - I particularly liked their own version of the terracotta army (a lot more variety in their characters).

This museum - located in the old part of Nicosia - is a great way to learn about the history of Nicosia itself - going back thousands of years to more recent times. The museum has an excellent collection which is enhanced by well produced interactives and virtual tours. Best of all it is free. A must see.

Agios Neophytos Monastery

Reviewed By cotsios79 - Nicosia, Cyprus

Located about 9km north of Pafos (Paphos), the monastery of Agios Neophytos was founded by the Cypriot recluse and writer Neophytos in the second half of the 12th century, in what used to be a secluded location at the head of the picturesque valley. The hermit carved a cave out of the mountains called the ‘Enkleistra’, which is covered with some of the finest examples of Byzantine frescoes that date back from the 12th to the 15th centuries. The monastery has a noteworthy ecclesiastical museum and its later church also contains some of the finest Post-Byzantine icons dating to the 16th century.
