KYRENIA<\/h3>\n

It is suggested that Kyrenia was founded by Achaeans who migrated from Peloponnese in the 10th century BC. According to the claim, the Achaeans gave the name of the Kyreniamountain in the homeland of this city they built. Another view is that the first settlers in Kyrenia were Phoenicians who founded trade colonies on the shores of the island in the 9th century BC. In Roman sources, Kyrenia’s name is called Corineum. The history of the city, plundered by the Arabs and pirates several times during the Byzantine period, resembles the general history of the island.<\/p>\n
