Description
You will find this one of the most interesting and exciting days of your stay here in Cyprus as we venture across the "Green Line" to the North Cyprus, dividing the Island since 1974.
• Famagusta: We’ll head toward the crossing point and enter the northern part of the island. Driving along the “ghost town” – a sealed-off area where entry is forbidden – we’ll arrive at the only accessible section of Varosha. Here, you’ll have the rare opportunity to walk through the abandoned city and down to the stunning sandy beach, once a bustling paradise where people swam and sunbathed carefree.
• Salamis Ruins: Our next stop is the ancient city-kingdom of Salamis, where you can wander among the majestic ruins, soak in the views, or even take a swim during the summer months.
• Tomb of Saint Barnabas: We’ll visit the tomb of Saint Barnabas, the Apostle who brought Christianity to Cyprus. You also have the option to explore the nearby monastery dedicated to him.
• We’ll conclude the day exploring the old town of Famagusta, surrounded by impressive Venetian walls. You’ll have time to take photos, do some shopping, or simply relax with a coffee. Don’t miss the chance to visit Othello’s Tower and enjoy panoramic views from the top.
• There will be plenty of time for an optional lunch and drinks.
• Entry to archaeological sites is optional and paid directly by the visitors.
After one of the most unforgettable experiences of your life, we’ll return to your hotel full of stories and memories.
Don’t forget to bring your passport and your camera!
