Notes:

"Keryneia" Shown on the nose....Kyrenia (Greek: Êåñýíåéá Keryneia; Turkish: Girne) is a town in the break-away Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The town is known for its historic harbour, and as one of the first places captured by Turkey during the 1974 invasion of the island. In its heyday the town harbour was lined with warehouses in which were stored the fruits of the countryside whilst they awaited export. The harbour is currently used largely for pleasure craft, and the buildings are now mostly all restaurants, with outdoor tables along the water. A larger harbour is located a few miles east of the town centre, used by commercial shipping and ferries from the Turkish mainland. The A330 Cyprus bird was passing the Aviation Viewing Park.
