Sailors from across the globe set sail for Girne

Yachts from around the world will arrive in Girne later this month when the Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Rally floats into town.
Some 68 boats crewed by 200 people from 18 countries are taking part in this years' event, which left Istanbul on April 24.
A flotilla will begin arriving in Girne's new and old harbours from 8am on Saturday May 23. Those taking part in the entire event, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, will take in 24 ports, six countries and 1,679 miles in 74 days.
