In Varosha, the ghost town of Cyprus, time stood still in 1974. This exciting tour offers a real leap back in time. Perfect for pairing with Famagusta or ancient Salamis.
Famagusta Oldtown with Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque and Venetian Palace, a journey back to the Middle Ages, perfectly combined with ancient Salamis or Varosha.
Larnaca has an eventful history. With its palm-lined promenade, it is a popular tourist destination on the south coast of the island. Old and new mix in the town, which, despite its many hotels, is not purely a tourist centre.
With the handover of Cyprus by the Ottomans to the British, Larnaca was rapidly upgraded from an Ottoman provincial town after their arrival; in line with European standards, the British renewed roads and infrastructure, began draining the salt marshes and established a town parliament headed by a mayor. With the end of British colonial rule, the Turkish occupation of the northern part of the island and the loss of Famagusta, Larnaca experienced an upswing as a port, business and tourism location and, after the closure of Nicosia airport in the demilitarised zone, was given the most important airport on the island.

The city was founded around 274 BC by Ptolemy II after Salamis had been severely damaged by an earthquake. Arsinoe was described in the first century BC by Strabon in his Geographica as a „fishing town“. It remained a small fishing village for a long time. Later, when Salamis was gradually cleared during the Arab invasion under Muawiyah I, it developed into a small port.
The turning point for Famagusta from a small village to a town came in 1192 with the onset of Lusignan rule. It was during this period that Famagusta developed into a fully fledged town. It became increasingly important in the Eastern Mediterranean because of its natural harbour and the walls that protected its inner city. Its population began to grow.

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

This tour takes you to the north of Cyprus to the best preserved castle. The great castle of St Hilarion, perched high on the peaks of the mountains, has seen and survived much in its time. It also has stunning views over the sea and the island.
Our second destination is also in the mountains and not far away. Bellapais was both a monastery and a fortress. It is also very well preserved, and the mountain village of the same name provides the perfect backdrop for great, impressive photos.
Immerse yourself in the romantic world of the Middle Ages with its knights, nobles and kings.
Tour price 349 Euro for one or two persons, each additional person 89 Euro

Northern Cyprus is much less visited than Greek Cyprus in the south, but offers just as many sights. One of these is the walled old town of Famagusta with a truly large number of very well preserved medieval buildings. Famagusta, in Turkish Gazimagusa, is located on the east coast of Cyprus, just over the border and within easy reach of us.
During our tour we will guide you live through the interesting history of Famagusta and show you some of the most important sights. We offer this tour in combination with a visit to the ancient city of Salamis.
