THE DOME HOTEL, KYRENIA "This town is the healthiest in the island… The wind springs directly from the sea.. On the south too it is protected by the chain of mountains which are near enough to give the place shade and excellent water." Tomasso Porchacchi-1576 (L´Isole piu famose) Colonial Film Unit
