Kantara Castle, originally built by the Byzantines in the 10th century, has stood the test of time and witnessed countless historical events. It was fortified by the Lusignans in the 12th century and later fell under Genoese and Venetian control. The castle’s strategic location provided a crucial defense point, and its impressive towers and battlements still evoke a sense of medieval grandeur.
One of the most alluring aspects of Kantara Castle is its panoramic views. From the castle’s towers, you can gaze upon the northern coastline, the lush Kyrenia mountain range, and the picturesque surrounding forests. The castle’s architectural features, including its fortified gatehouse, courtyards, and water cisterns, offer a glimpse into the past and the ingenuity of its builders.

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.

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.
The Elpida was a Greek container ship and the name means hope in Greek. She is about 70 metres long and lies now near Larnaca in Cyprus at a depth of up to 30 metres.
The general areas and the bridge are between 20 and 14 metres deep.
The top of the masts is 10 metres and the wreck stands upright on the seabed, making it very photogenic. Our Event with a private scuba guide includes one dive with full equipment, rubber boat transfer to the dive spot and pick up service Larnaca and Agia Napa Area.
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.
The Elpida is the largest of several ships sunk to strengthen the marine ecosystem and restore marine life off Cyprus. The Elpida was sunk on 7 December 2019, so is still quite „young as a wreck“ and therefore well preserved.
Elpida, translates as hope, in active service she was a Greek container ship. Now she lies upright at a depth of just under 30m on the seabed.
The Eplida is about 70 m long and 10 m wide, so that you as a diver can make a very extensive dive here, because the main deck of this impressive wreck lies between 20 and 22 m, so that there is enough no-decompression time.
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 »
For centuries, Cyprus was the largest producer and exporter of copper in the ancient world. Pure copper and its alloys not only brought wealth to the island, but also formed the basis for the development of its great civilisations. These, in turn, undoubtedly contributed
to the technical progress of the entire Mediterranean world.
But, as is always the case, over time many of the mining areas were exploited and then simply forgotten. Sancytours is very attached to the island and is always on the lookout for such forgotten places. Join us in our search for forgotten and lost places and come with us to former mines, now covered by nature.

Early in the morning we cast off from Nisiros and first of all got some distance to the coast, because it is still quite dark. So we could once again enjoy the sunrise on board. Today there are already waves, but much less and only one metre high. Course Rhodes. Later the wind shifted and blew in our faces, which made progress a lot slower. With Turkey on one side and Rhodes on the other, we made our way to Rhodes City. more »
