Yialousa & Agios Thyrsos
Yeni Erenköy / Γιαλούσα
A village on the north coast of the peninsula, with a small chapel of Agios Thyrsos and a spring nearby, making it a natural stop for road trips around the peninsula.
Yialousa (Turkish: Yeniierenköy) is the main village on the north coast of the central peninsula, with a fishing harbour, restaurants and guesthouses. A few kilometres east, on the coast, stand the Church of Agios Thyrsos, where a new and an old small chapel sit side by side. Below them, a cave holds a spring, and rocks line the shore, where you can swim. Located between Iskele and Dipkarpaz, it is a good place to stop for lunch and enjoy the sea while driving around the peninsula.
