Location of Girne district in Northern Cyprus.
Kyrenia District is one of the six districts of Cyprus. Its main town is Kyrenia (Greek: Κερύνεια, Turkish: Girne). It is the smallest of Cyprus' districts, and is the only one fully controlled by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, recognised only by Turkey.
A district administration in "exile" exists on the Republic of Cyprus controlled part of the island, near Ledra Palace, while the TRNC district has a kaymakam, which is Savaş Orakçıoğlu at the moment.
