Parking in the Kyrenia Harbour Area

In the old Girne harbour, the most convenient parking options are the two nearest paid lots: Baldöken Otoparkı (usually with more available spaces) and Ücretli Otopark (closer to the harbour but smaller). If you're looking for a free option, check the parking under the walls of Girne Castle and the spots along 20 Temmuz Kordonboyu Caddesi, where spaces appear irregularly.

Paid parking near Girne harbour

The easiest option is to leave your car in one of the official parking lots. There are two nearby.

Baldöken Otoparkı

The main and largest parking lot, located close to the castle and harbour. With a huge number of spaces, there is almost always availability. Nearby, there is a small park and a restroom; it’s about a five-minute walk down to the harbour.

Ücretli Otopark

Located even closer to the harbour and castle, just a 2–3 minute walk. However, it is not very large and fills up quickly during peak times.

Free parking near Girne harbour

Of course, spaces in these lots are often unavailable. But not everyone knows, for example, about the first one on the list.

Under the castle walls

An informal but popular parking area is located directly under the castle walls, and it is also the closest to the harbour. Few people reach it — to find it, you need to drive 10 meters past the previous lot, make a sharp right turn at a narrow angle, and go down.

Along Kordonboyu Park

If you trust your luck, you can try parking along 20 Temmuz Kordonboyu Caddesi, parallel to the park and waterfront of the same name. But you have to literally "catch" a spot, and parking while waiting for others to leave is not possible due to the road width.
