Boğaz Fishing Harbour
Boğaz / Μπογάζι
A small fishing harbour at the entrance to the peninsula, with a row of seafood restaurants along the quay, where you can sample fresh fish and meze.
Boğaz lies on the coast north of Iskele and marks the entrance to the Karpaz Peninsula. Its small fishing harbour is full of boats, and the seafood restaurants along the quay are known for fresh fish and generous spreads of meze. Local Turkish Cypriots often make a special trip here to eat. In the evening, watch the fishing boats return to harbour and enjoy a seafood dinner. From here it is easy to continue east into the peninsula or head up to Kantara Castle.
