Journey to the east coast of Cyprus and step into a world where ancient myths, medieval history, and haunting modern stories collide on this extraordinary day trip to Famagusta, Northern Cyprus.
Your first stop is the legendary ancient city of Salamis — once the largest and most powerful city on the island, founded according to myth by Teucer, the heroic archer of Homer's Iliad. Wander among grand ruins, explore the impressive Roman baths and amphitheatre, and feel the weight of centuries beneath your feet.
Next, discover the enchanting Famagusta Old Town — a living museum where ancient walls and charming alleys tell stories of Crusaders, Venetians, and Ottomans. Visit the formidable Othello Castle — a 14th-century Lusignan fortress immortalised by Shakespeare's famous tragedy — and the breathtaking Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, a Gothic masterpiece inspired by Notre Dame de Paris, later transformed into a mosque during the Ottoman era.
Stroll atop the ancient city walls and soak in sweeping panoramic views of Famagusta's coastline and surrounding landscapes.
Finally, gaze upon the haunting Varosha Ghost Town — an abandoned district frozen in time, a powerful and poignant reminder of Cyprus's complex and turbulent recent history.
This tour is perfect for history lovers, culture seekers, and curious travellers ready to uncover the dramatic and untold stories of Northern Cyprus.
