Overview
This full day tour to the occupied northern part of Cyprus takes you to three of the country's most intriguing spots. You'll visit the ruins of the ancient city of Salamis and the old town of Famagusta, and you'll get to see the ‘ghost town' of Varosha.Your journey into the past starts all the way back in classical times at Salamis. You'll explore its ancient roads and ruined temples as well as the partially restored amphitheatre. And in the Monastery of St Barnabas, you'll enjoy the fascinating icon museum.After lunch, there will be time to gaze at the haunting sight of Varosha, where time has stood still for decades. This once popular beach resort has lain abandoned since the Turkish invasion more than 40 years ago. Before returning to the south, you'll explore Famagusta. Your guide will show you sights such as the Venetian castle and the Gothic cathedral-turned mosque.
