Travel with us 50 years into the past and discover a tank cemetery in wild, untouched nature. The scenery is bizarre, with a number of battle tanks and other armored vehicles quietly rusting among bushes and piles of stones.

After the Ottoman conquest of Cyprus in 1571, Christians were expelled from Famagusta and forced to build new homes outside the walls. After independence from Great Britain, Varosha developed into a well-known tourist resort in the 1960s and 1970s. Large hotel complexes were built near the beach.
A year before the civil war and the Turkish invasion, Varosha was generating more than 50% of the island’s total income from tourism. There were now 45 hotels with more than 10,000 beds, 60 apartment hotels, almost 100 recreation centres, 21 banks, 24 theatres and cinemas and around 3,000 large and small shops. The population was just under 32,000.

A Secret Places Tour with Sancytours into a fairytale world. The exotic Kremiotis waterfall is definitely the most unusual waterfall in Cyprus!
It really does look completely different, green and overgrown with moss, almost like a jungle. The most adventurous part is the access to the waterfall. The path that leads to the waterfall ends at the back of the waterfall, so you can get to the front of the waterfall through a small tunnel 4 to 5 metres long. An adventure, but well worth it! A footbridge has recently been built around the waterfall so that you no longer have to walk through the tunnel.
Our Time for Lovers event is very popular. Always personalised, always something new. An event that not only appeals to couples who have just fallen in love, but is also perfect as a birthday present, for a wedding anniversary or simply as a surprise.
Of course, the „namestakes“ such as the Bridge of Lovers and the Tree of Lovers are always included, but we customise the event for YOU to make it an unforgettable day.
Discover the captivating underwater world of the Elpida wreck, one of Cyprus’s most intriguing dive sites, through our stunning photo gallery. Each image is a portal into the mysterious depths where the Elpida lies, offering divers a chance to explore a relatively new artificial reef that has quickly become a haven for marine life and an exciting exploration site for adventure seekers.
The Elpida, meaning „hope“ in Greek, is a vessel intentionally sunk in 2019 off the coast of Larnaca to create an artificial reef. This dive site has since flourished, attracting a diverse array of marine life and providing divers with the opportunity to witness the ecological succession in a controlled environment. The ship rests in a relatively shallow part of the sea, making it accessible to both intermediate and advanced divers.
Cyprus is steeped in ancient myth and legend and several places on the island have a particular mythological significance. Adonis Baths is such a place.
These waters over the centuries eroded the soil and formed a small lake. According to Greek mythology, this is where Adonis and Aphrodite would meet to spend time together.
The bath of Adonis is located below an old mill. Waterfalls cascade down and fill a small lake with fresh water. All around, nature has not been idle and has gone to great lengths to form a unique backdrop.
Come with us to visit and enjoy one of the few still relatively unknown idyllic places in Cyprus. Tour group price from 349Euro more »
