Lapta coastal walk and Bellapais monastery.

 On our second day we headed along the coast to the Lapta coastal walk. The path hugs the coastline and crosses several bridges. The path has been kept in good condition and there are some great views of the Kyrenia mountains.

.

We then drove up to the Bellapais monastery that sits high above Kyrenia,  we walked around the old ruins of the 13th century monastery and took in the panoramic views of the coastline below. 

We then stopped off for lunch at the Huzur Agac, where we enjoyed a cold assortment of bread, dips, cheese and olives. We then wandered around the narrow streets of this tiny village and watched the dark clouds come tumbling over the Crest of the mountain. 

In the evening we returned to the village of Bellapais to visit the Bella moon restaurant,  we enjoyed a fairly decent meal, although the staff were very  friendly.
