Old Harbour Kyrenia
The old harbour has a long promenade, flanked by a wall on the sea side, facing the old Crusader castle. At night there is constant cruising the lighting is very poor and aids this. Many of the Turks you will meet will do it with you but then most expect monetary payment however they never ask for money upfront for some reason. occurs along the dark promenade that skirts the harbour wall or above and behind the wall where rocks are to be found. However you must be discreet - it is not a free for all. Alternatively people will meet on the harbour promenade and then walk around the harbour and engage in the dark shadows of the castle walls. It is also possible to bring people back to your hotel but you must have regard to their appearance - if they look very young or poor. Some of these people will seek to pickpocket you so be warned but always remember they are more frightened of the police than you need to be.

When to go
Action takes place at night but eye contact is possible during the day.
Etiquette
I undertsand the local police are aware of what is going on and I have heard stories of plainclothes police walking down the promenade - I have not encountered them. This is a quiet place with relatively limited tourism and most of what there is consists of elderly British people.
Nudity: Nudity is not an option.
Safety
