This stage shifts quickly from sea to mountains. Beyond Kyrenia, the harbour, coastline and first slopes of the Kyrenia Range stay in view before the road begins to climb. The route becomes quieter, greener and more winding, with pine trees, rocky ridges and wide views back to the water. Further east, the terrain opens again: villages, fields, dry plains and long, calm sections shape the ride towards Famagusta. The finish brings city walls, old-town streets and the layered history of the harbour city.
