  • Verrà effettuata una visita guidata a piedi attraverso le rovine fatiscenti della "città fantasma" di Varosha.

  • Una guida locale esperta condividerà la sua impareggiabile conoscenza di Cipro Nord e della sua storia.
Cosa aspettarsi

Questo tour di un'intera giornata nella parte settentrionale di Cipro vi porterà in tre dei luoghi più interessanti del territorio. Scoprirete l'antica città di Salamina, il centro storico di Famagosta e la "città fantasma" di Varosha. Elpida, una delle nostre guide locali, afferma che "Cipro Nord è un luogo congelato nel tempo. Possiamo persino individuare la data: il 1974. E il risultato è un pot-pourri Instagrammable di hotel incompiuti, chiese semidiroccate e minareti spelacchiati".

Il vostro viaggio nel passato inizia in epoca classica a Salamina. Esplorerete i suoi templi in rovina, il teatro parzialmente restaurato e altro ancora. Stavroula, un'altra delle nostre guide locali, dice che "non solo Salamina è intrisa di miti antichi, ma San Barnaba, che portò il cristianesimo a Cipro nel primo secolo, è sepolto in un monastero vicino".

Dopo il tempo libero per il pranzo, visiterete Famagosta, il cui centro storico è ancora protetto da mura difensive intatte costruite dai veneziani secoli fa. La guida vi mostrerà attrazioni come il castello e la cattedrale gotica trasformata in moschea. Elpida dice che "davanti all'ingresso principale c'è un albero di fico che fu piantato dai crociati che costruirono la cattedrale, quindi è il più antico essere vivente di Famagosta".Per completare la visita, c'è un tour a piedi nella "città fantasma" di Varosha. Questa località balneare, un tempo popolare, è rimasta abbandonata per più di 50 anni. È un'esperienza surreale camminare su strade invase da vegetazione, con facciate fatiscenti, persiane arrugginite e finestre rotte.

    Guide could not be heard on the bus over the engine and air conditioning. Many complained but guide was not interested as he said he could not turn the volume up. He didn’t wait for everyone when out and about before he started talking and when asked questions was very snappy and quite rude. Stoped at cafes that he is obviously “friends” with and wanted us to spend money there. Very long day on a cramped coach and learnt nothing of the history - which is what we wanted

Ancient Kourion, Kolossi Castle, Omodos and winery tour from Limassol

Ancient Kourion, Kolossi Castle, Omodos and winery tour from Limassol

Cyprus is all rolling hills dotted with pretty villages. On this adults-only tour, you'll see where a legend was born, visit the ruins of Kourion, venture to the village of Omodos and cap off the day with a wine tasting. Eva, one of our local guides, says of this excursion, ‘You'll wander through layers of history, culture and mythology.'You'll dive straight into the past at Kourion, one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Cyprus. Visit the Roman baths and amble into the site's centrepiece, the Greco-Roman theatre. Concerts are still held to this day. While the mosaics of the trio of excavated houses known as those of Eustolius, the Gladiators and Achilles are as impressive as when they were laid down. The 15th-century Kolossi Castle is up next. This steeped-in-legend Crusader-built fortress is nowadays surrounded by blooming plants. Then, we'll head for a local lunch in a family-run taverna before visiting mountain-fringed Omodos where you'll wander around skinny cobbled streets lined with Byzantine buildings. It's Eva's favourite village. She says, ‘The charm of the stone houses, the tranquillity and peace. It's as if it has sprung from a fairytale. I love dropping into one of the cafés and seeing locals have philosophical discussions, political arguments and a bit of gossip.' To finish, there's a wine tasting session, where you'll learn all about sweet commandaria wine – one of the oldest varieties in the world.

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.

Akamas Peninsula 4x4 Winter Tour

There's only one way to explore Cyprus's last wilderness – in a 4x4 vehicle. This off-road adventure will take you on a bumpy ride through the rugged Akamas peninsula.

An action-packed day.Home to more than 160 species of birds and almost 40 species of plants, the entire peninsula is a national park. There are no main roads – just dirt tracks and pathways. The fun kicks off with a drive to the giant limestone walls of the Avakas Gorge. Next up is Lara Bay. This very remote spot – even by Akamas peninsula standards – is home to a breeding station for protected green turtles.It's time to rev up the engine again for a trip to Port Latchi. Then, in the afternoon you'll visit the Baths of Aphrodite. Legend has it that the Greek goddess of love used to bathe here with her lover, Adonis.
