Het verhaal van Famagusta District

Ayia Napa grew around a Venetian-era monastery that still stands in the middle of town, with a medieval fountain and an old sycamore. The Thalassa Municipal Museum of the Sea shows ships of ancient Cyprus, including a copy of the Kyrenia ship, a merchant vessel that sank 2,300 years ago. Around Cape Greco, sea caves and natural bridges cut into the rock. In the red-soil villages of the Kokkinochoria, small churches keep their painted icons, and in summer the village festivals bring music and loukoumades.

The ship full of almonds

A ship sank 2,300 years ago – with its almonds still inside.

When divers raised the Kyrenia ship in the 1960s, they found hundreds of wine jars, millstones and about 10,000 almonds in its hold. Scientists used the almonds to date the wreck. A full-size working copy, the Kyrenia II, has sailed the Mediterranean, and another copy stands in the Thalassa museum.
