Description
Embark on a captivating journey across the UN-patrolled border to northern Cyprus, where you will explore some of the region’s most renowned historical sites. Our first destination is the breathtaking Salamis Archaeological Site, nestled along the east coast of Cyprus, overlooking the mesmerizing Mediterranean Sea. Behold the majesty of Salamis, which once served as the splendid capital of Cyprus for over a millennium. Immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of this remarkable site, considered a beacon of significance not only in Cyprus but throughout the entire Mediterranean region. Your knowledgeable guide will enlighten you with tales of the magnificent Greek Kingdom that flourished within these ancient walls. Continuing our journey, we will arrive in Famagusta City, where you can visit the awe-inspiring Latin Cathedral of Saint Nicholas and the imposing Othello Tower. Indulge in some leisurely free time to savor a delightful lunch or explore the enchanting charms of the old town at your own pace. Before bidding farewell to this historically rich region, we will briefly stop at Constantia Beach. From here, you will enjoy the view of the hauntingly beautiful ghost town of Famagusta, which was tragically abandoned during the turmoil of the Turkish invasion in 1974. Behind its barbed wire enclosures, this once-thriving holiday resort has remained frozen in time, encapsulating a poignant tale of the past. Experience a day of discovery, as you traverse the borders and witness the profound historical treasures that northern Cyprus has to offer. 07:30 - 08:45 Pick up guests from Ayia Napa and Protaras resort 08:45 - 09:30 Drive to Dherynia Checkpoint – cross the Green Line and drive to Salamis city ruins 09:30 - 10:45 Guiding and free time in Salamis (incl. refreshment at Bedis) 10:45 - 11:20 Drive to and visit St. Barnabas church and tomb 11:20 - 11:35 Drive to Varosha 11:35 - 12:15 Walk through partly opened Varosha *** Guests that just wish to see the first part of Varosha towards the beach and find it enough, can be directed back to the bus – The rest of the group continues up to Bank of Cyprus in Varosha for a walk and will then return *** 12:15 - 12:20 Drive to Constantia Beach 12:20 - 13:30 Lunch at Constantia Beach 13:30 - 13:40 Drive to Othello's Tower (no visit inside) 13:40 - 13:55 Visit Saint Nicholas Cathedral 13:55 - 15:30 Free time in the old town of Famagusta 15:30 - 15:45 Panoramic view of the ghost town of Famagusta 15:45 - 16:15 Drive to Dherynia checkpoint - cross the Green Line 16:15 - 17:20 Drive back and drop off guests in resortIncludes
