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.
At the point you can see tanks (T80) and armored personnel carriers (M113 APC).
The tank wrecks are located in a restricted military area. It is therefore possible that the area is closed due to exercises. *see „please note“
Tour price 129Euro / person, additional up to 4 Persons 59 Euro

A Tour to the grandiose medieval mountain fortress of St Hilarion, perfectly combined with Bellapais medieval Monastary or Kyrenia Old Town and Kyrenia Castle.
Kyrenia is a coastal town in Cyprus, located in the middle of the north coast. It is located in the Turkish-occupied north of the island. Kyrenia is the smallest of the six towns on the island of Cyprus, but one of the oldest. Kyrenia has been inhabited since prehistoric times (around 1300 BC). According to Greek mythology, Kyrenia was founded by Kifeas and Praxandros, who returned to their homeland after the Trojan War.
An ancient wreck of a Greek merchant ship from the 4th century BC was found in the middle of the sea area just outside the city, which was raised and restored in 1967. Since then it has been on display in the fortress of Kyrenia.

Salamis was an Iron Age city-kingdom and ancient city at the mouth of the Pediaios River in Cyprus. It lies on the long bay of Famagusta, only 6 km north of Famagusta.
According to legend, the founder of Salamis was Teukros, son of Telamon, king of the Greek island of Salamis of the same name. He is said to have landed in Cyprus after the destruction of Troy, built a temple to Zeus and married Eune, the daughter of Kinyras. His father-in-law, Kinyras, was the father of Adonis.

Nicosia is located in the interior of the island of Cyprus and is therefore less suitable for a typical beach holiday on the coast. But the city, which is over 2,500 years old, has a rich cultural heritage. This applies to the Greek-influenced south as well as the Turkish-influenced north.
Because of its strategic location between Europe, Asia Minor and the Levant, Cyprus has always been a point of contention. Many ruled here: Greeks and Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders and Genoese, but also the Ottoman Empire, which ceded Cyprus to Great Britain.
It was not until 1960 that Cyprus became independent and Nicosia became the capital of the young state. In the following decades, however, there was repeated unrest between Greek and Turkish nationalists. This led to the division of the city, which continues to this day.

St Hilarion Castle stands at 732m and is very well preserved. Walls and towers seem to grow randomly out of the rock, giving the castle a fairytale appearance. It is even said that Walt Disney used it as a model for the castle in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The castle is named after a hermit who fled Palestine in the 7th century to live up here and rid the mountain of pagan demons. The story goes that the hermit was deaf and so easily resisted the seductive calls of the demons that haunted the mountain. Eventually the demons gave in and left Hilarion and the mountain alone. A Byzantine monastery and later a fortress were built around his tomb.

Bellapais Abbey is now the ruins of a monastery built in the 13th century on the northern outskirts of the small village of Bellapais in northern Cyprus, about five kilometres from the town of Kyrenia. The monastery is situated at an altitude of 220 metres above sea level and offers a wide view of Kyrenia and the Mediterranean Sea.
The site was once the residence of the Bishop of Kyrenia and a refuge from Arab attacks in the 7th and 8th centuries. The first inhabitants known to have settled here or nearby were the Canons of the Holy Sepulchre, who fled after Saladin’s conquest of Jerusalem in 1187. The Canons were the guardians of the Holy Sepulchre.
