The site of the oldest boat in the world does take your breath away . There is interesting information there too for anyone interested in archaeology. Lovely location near the harbour.

Situated within Kyrenia castle - for which there is an entry fee. Claimed to be the oldest recovered ship and artefacts in the world. Its well laid out and explained in both Turkish and English. Its completely self guided.
An interesting part of our visit to the castle, with a good exhibition explaining the ship and its contents. A nice rest from climbing around on the castle walls, with a bit of food for the brain.
A good museum, with lots of information, however a word of warning, there are lots of stone steps to access some areas. A very nice little café under the trees for a coffee.
I probably wouldn't pay much to see this on its own, but it's a memorable part of a visit to the castle.
This is a superb castle with an excellent museum. Another reviewer has already stated the problems caused by the Greek Cypriot opposition to any international expertise It is a place which must be included in any visit to Cyprus
You should not miss the chance to visit the museum. But do it soon.
The museum is the result of the recovery of an ancient ship from the sea just off the coast of Kyrenia. It was the birth of nautical archaeology; the Institute of Nautical Archaeology was set up in Kyrenia to bring the ship and its artifacts ashore...

I am shock. the world mixed culture this museum but ottoman is mainly in all exhibition. especially ottoman turkish people saved x-history and mixed with islam from arabia and anatolia, they met in this island. wonderfull
the remains of a boat brought up from the seabed built all that time before christ with a list of it"s cargoe was well worth seeing ,some off the castle walls were dodgey with out proper saftey guards
Till 15.00 you may visit the castle and it takes around 1.30hours. Shipwreck is hidden in the castle ;) you need to go upstairs from the room of the shipwreck
