  • Découvrez la vieille ville de Famagouste et ses impressionnants vestiges du passé

  • Guide local expert ayant une connaissance inégalée de Chypre et de son histoire
Ce qui vous attend

Cette visite de la partie nord de Chypre passe par plusieurs périodes de l'histoire : antique, médiévale et des années 1970. Les vedettes de cette journée sont les vestiges de la cité classique de Salamine, de la vieille ville de Famagouste, ainsi que la "ville fantôme" de Varosha. Stavroula, l'une de nos guides locales expertes, dit : "La région de Famagouste est riche en trésors de l'Antiquité, du Moyen Âge et au-delà. Selon la légende locale, les gens de l'époque médiévale étaient si riches qu'ils ont construit 365 églises pour louer Dieu chaque jour, le remerciant pour leur mode de vie aisé et leur abondance."

Votre aventure commence à Salamine, une ville fondée à l'époque classique et la capitale de Chypre pendant plus de mille ans. Vous explorerez les anciennes routes et les temples en ruine jadis peuplés et animés de cette métropole. L'amphithéâtre partiellement restauré est un incontournable, car il donne un aperçu du passé à son apogée, avec des spectacles et des événements. Vous continuerez au monastère datant du 5e siècle de Saint-Barnabé avec son musée d'icônes, dont certaines remontent à la période byzantine.

Vous continuez avec une courte promenade guidée dans l'ancienne ville balnéaire de Varosha, où le temps s'est arrêté depuis des décennies. Cette station balnéaire autrefois populaire est abandonnée depuis près de 50 ans. Après du temps libre pourmanger le midi, vous terminez par Famagouste, une ville qui était jadis l'une des plus riches de la Méditerranée. Votre guide vous montrera des sites tels que le château vénitien et la cathédrale gothique devenue mosquée.

    Eine Geisterstadt und das Grab des Barnabas, das ist schon klasse. Der Tourguide hat alles sehr gut erklärt, auch die Hintergründe des Zypern Krieges.

    Hieno retki, olisi hyvä olla suomenkielellä. Retkestä olisi saanut kaiken irti, nyt vain pienen murto-osan. Olemme suomalaisia, emme englantilaisia.

    The only concern is that the guide did not wait until the whole group caught up to begin the talking. Consequently some of us missed most of the relevant information.

The guide was bullied along by the tui rep behind us so got a whistle stop tour of salamis with very little info moved on to Famagusta and again guide rushing through any info so walked off an did our own thing with the same issues again in Varosha basically it was no better than a school bus trip being shouted at all day to move along if you like this’s sort of speed through history you’ll be ok if you like a bit more time on the floor an not sat on a coach avoid

Ancient Kourion tour with Paphos Harbour visit
Excursions & day trips

Ancient Kourion tour with Paphos Harbour visit

Cyprus is home to some hugely important ancient Greek and Roman sites. On this tour, you'll take in Aphrodite's Rock, ancient Paphos and the Tombs of the Kings, visit Kourion – and enjoy free time in the Paphos harbour area. Andreas, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The Tombs of the Kings offer us a valuable insight into ancient Mediterranean culture. There are very similar tombs in Alexandria, demonstrating the strong ties between the two cities in ancient times.'After a coffee pit-stop along the way, you'll stop by Kourion archaeological site to see landmarks such as the theatre – dating from the 2nd century BC – and the Agora. En route to Paphos, there's a photo stop at Petra tou Romiou – or Aphrodite's Rock – where, legend has it, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty emerged from the sea foam. Andreas says, ‘At Kourion, you see the ruined house of Eustolios and find out what life was like here before the city was destroyed by an earthquake in the 4th century.'Next, we'll head to ancient Paphos for a guided visit of the Tombs of the Kings, the House of Dionysos and its well-preserved mosaics. Andreas says, ‘The rock-hewn Tombs of the Kings were not actually intended for royalty, but instead the aristocracy and island governors were laid to rest here. The name reflects the sheer grandeur of the necropolis.' Later, you'll enjoy some free time to shop and wander around Paphos Harbour. Maybe you can stroll along the waterfront or grab a bite to eat at one of the many terrace cafés.

Full-day guided tour of Fikardou, Machairas and Lefkara

You'll leave no stone unturned as you explore Cyprus's hidden corners. This exclusive excursion takes in remote highland villages, dramatic landscapes and a revered monastery. It also includes a traditional Cypriot lunch. Stavroula, one of our local guides on this tour, says, ‘Fikardou village is an excellent example of rural mountain life, where the 19th-century architecture is in complete harmony with the environment.' A real taste of what's to come.Heading inland, you'll arrive mid-morning at rustic and laidback Fikardou. All cobblestones and historic houses, time seems to have frozen here. And with free time to explore, you'll find that ancient traditions still hold their way. It's so well-preserved that it's on UNESCO's tentative list of world heritage sites. Next, you'll head to the 12th-century Macharias Monastery, which is located on a remote hillside. Its lavishly decorated interior houses a sacred icon of the Virgin Mary.Then, it's time for a traditional Cypriot lunch, prepared with locally sourced ingredients and served at a family-run restaurant on the way to Lefkara. The tour ends on a high in charming Lefkara, a village famed for its handmade lace and embroidery. ‘Women, young and old, can be seen seated outside their homes and shops making lace,' says Stavroula. ‘For hundreds of years, the men from the village have travelled all over Europe to sell it, even Leonardo da Vinci bought some.'

Caledonia Waterfalls full-day tour with local guide and lunch
Activities

Caledonia Waterfalls full-day tour with local guide and lunch

Trade the beach for the cool, shaded vibes of the Troodos Mountains – where nature's about to blow your mind. We're talking a three-kilometre hike, leading you to Caledonia Falls, one of Cyprus's tallest and most beautiful waterfalls, before heading to the village of Platres for a tasty, traditional lunch. Andi, one of our expert local guides, says, "You'll love the hike as much as the destination – it's like stepping into a fairytale, with cute little bridges crisscrossing along the stream all the way to the waterfall." But first, you'll kick things off at Kolossi Fruit Garden. Think juicy fruit and zesty lemonade to get you prepped for the adventure ahead. As you wind through the forest, the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream keeps you company – it's the perfect backdrop for those Insta-gold pics, almost like the Greek Gods are keeping tabs on you. You'll delve deeper along the forest nature tail, among old pines and strawberry trees, until reaching the showstopper – Caldonia Falls. Here, you can dip your toes in the shaded freshwater pool, snap some pics, and soak up the magic. The falls were named by a Scottish expedition in 1878, who were so wowed by how much it reminded them of home, they named it after Caledonia, the Roman name for Scotland. Afterwards, you'll head to Psilo Dendro, in Platres, for a well-deserved lunch. With its own trout farm, the fish here is as fresh as it gets – the perfect way to wrap up your mountain adventure.
