If you fancy a little adventure, you should consider the special daily cruise from Kyrenia Harbour to discover the beauty and mystery of the island from the sea. We set sail towards to the famous Escape's beach (West) or Acapulco beach (East) according to weather conditions. On our way we stop for a refreshing swim, arriving at our destination around noon. The anchor is dropped and you can have a quick dip before an open buffet lunch on board. After lunch you can swim in the crystal clear waters. Late in the afternoon we leave for a leisurely cruise back to Kyrenia Harbour.
