This privately guided tour takes you back to the Middle Ages as we explore the „walled city“ of Famagusta. Or rather, the old town of Gazimağusa, as Famagusta is called in Turkish. You will visit narrow alleys, trendy shops, cosy restaurants and, of course, the world-famous sights. Especially impressive is the large cathedral, now a mosque (Lala-Mustafa-Pascha-Mosque) and looking similar to Notre Dame in Paris, rising up from the sea of houses.

An old legend says that in its heyday, Famagusta had a church for every day of the year, which earned the city the nickname „City of 365 Churches“at the time.

You can find detailed information about the sightseeings here on our Special-Tour-Website: Famagusta – Things to know

From Famagusta it is only a few kilometres to the ancient Roman city of Salamis. Romans already knew how to enjoy the comforts of life back then and so also had a preference for baths, today we would call them wellness oases. We will take another leap back in time and explore such an oasis with you in Salamis and will be able to see the Sudatorium (warm bath), the Caldarium (steam bath) and the Frigidarium (cold bath) in the buildings of the Great Hall.

In ancient times, the city was very colourful, with marble columns decorated with coloured stucco, coloured statues and numerous colourful mosaics, of which unfortunately only a few remain. Discover the well-preserved amphitheatre with us, close your eyes and imagine a spectacle from antiquity.

Please note:

• We will pick you up at your hotel or arrange a meeting point with you. We will then take you on a tour, without the stress, hectic pace and time pressure of other guests. Of course, we will show you the famous buildings, but we will not forget to show you some of the really interesting places to take pictures. We’ll find out what really interests and excites you. So our tour with you is very personal. Don’t worry, we won’t tell you any novels about the historical buildings, we’ll just give you some information and give you time to take in the impressions and / or take photos.
• Before we start the return journey to your hotel, we invite you to a local restaurant, where you can enjoy a typical lunch. If you prefer not to eat meat, vegetarian or vegan options are also available.
• We will pick you up at your hotel at 9:00. You must be dressed appropriately to enter the interior of churches and mosques. Knees and shoulders covered, a big scarf sometimes helps the ladies a lot.
