Kyrenia Harbor - 1960
When I left Cyprus in 1960, Kyrenia harbor was still a sleepy working port - small fishing boats, Andreas Kariolou's scuba and diving business, Sabrii Tahir''s new ice cream shop, the Harbor Club with its small recreational sail boats, and last but not least, the seasonal lighters (small boats) that were used to transport the karob crop to small freighters anchored offshore. The businessmen and boatmen here included both Greek and Turkish residents of Kyrenia.
