The north (Turkish Cyprus) has a very different atmosphere. It sees many fewer tourists and its sites are much more peaceful. Northern Nicosia has the air of a Turkish bazaar; Kyrenia is a pleasant harbour with a fort at one end while Famagusta old town is one of the best-preserved Venetian towns in the mediterranean. Kyrenia was once a walled town and some of the towers built into the wall have survived. There is one by the harbour and the foundations of another by the customs house. Kyrenia Ship This is the oldest vessel ever to be recovered from the sea. It was wrecked in shallow waters less than 1.5 from the anchorage of Kyrenia. Lifting the wreck was effected during the summers of 1968 and 1969 by a team from the University of Pennsylvania. To keep the timber in good condition the atmosphere of the museum is strictly controlled.
