Overview

Embark on a captivating journey as we cross the UN buffer zone into the northern part of the island. Explore the ancient city of Salamis, a Hellenistic marvel dating back to the 12th century BC, boasting ruined temples, a remarkable theatre, and a sprawling gymnasium. Immerse yourself in Famagusta's rich history within its city walls, visiting the Venetian Castle, Othello’s Tower, and the iconic St. Nicholas Cathedral. The highlight awaits as we take a guided walk through the hauntingly preserved ghost town of Varosha, frozen in time since the events of the Turkish invasion in 1974, revealing a poignant chapter of Cyprus' history.
