About 41 kilometres west of Girne (Kyrenia) is Cape Koruçam, the westernmost point of the peninsula. From here, the Beşparmak Trail, a 155-kilometre walking route to Zafer Burnu (Cape Apostolos Andreas), leads to the easternmost point of Cyprus. Near the cape is the village of Koruçam or Kormakitis, one of four traditionally Maronite villages in Cyprus. It has the Chapel of the Holy Virgin, thought to have been built in 1453 and recently renovated, and the Saint George’s Chapel and Cathedral. The Maronite Christians settled in Cyprus in the 12th century.
The town of Güzelyurt (Morfou) in the southwest of Northern Cyprus has the impressive Saint Mamas Monastery and Church, now a well-preserved museum with beautiful carvings and icons. Next door is the Morfou Museum of Nature and Archaeology, formerly the Metropolit building, with a rich collection of artifacts from the Roman period.
The remains of Soli or Soloi, an ancient Greek city on the coast, is further south on the Gulf of Morphou. A protective roof has been built over the ruins of the two Basilicas, devoted to St. Auxibius, with a well-preserved floor paved almost entirely with mosaics. There is also a Roman theatre, partly restored. A bit further west is the 4th-century hilltop Vouni palace, near the village of Bademliköy (Loutros). There are attractive villages along the Gulf of Güzelyurt (Morphou), with tourist facilities.
