Archangel Michael Icon Museum
Arkhangelos Mikhail İkon Müzesi
A white Orthodox church on the cliff above the old harbor, now an icon museum displaying 18th- and 19th-century icons from churches across the Kyrenia region.
The Church of the Archangel Michael was built in 1860. Its white bell tower rises from the rocks on the west side of the old harbor and is one of the most recognizable buildings in harbor photos. After 1974, the church was converted into an icon museum displaying 18th- and 19th-century icons and carved icon screens collected from churches across the Kyrenia area. The collection is small, but the terrace in front of the church offers a view over the whole harbor. Admission is cheap. From the old harbor it is a few minutes' walk up the steps. Coordinates are approximate.
