Salamis was one of the main city-kingdoms in Cyprus and archaeological finds here date back to the late Bronze age (11th century BC). With influences from the Phoenicians, Byzantines, Greeks, Persians and Romans, Salamis is one of the most historically fascinating archaeological sites on Cyprus.

Varosha is the former tourist area of Famagusta which during the 1960's was the most glamourous holiday resort in the Mediterranean. Long sandy beaches lined with upmarket hotels, restaurants, night clubs and all kinds of modern entertainments attracted visitors from all over the world, including royalty and celebrities. Following the Turkish invasion of 1974, Varosha was evacuated and sealed off from the world until 2017 when it was partly re-opened to the public. This is a poignant and reflective tour which gives you a glimpse of a heart wrenching time in history.

This tour lasts around 5-5.5 hours and your own private guide will show you the most interesting places in this unique area.

This is a private tour for up to 4 people. Pick up time is 09.00am from hotels in the Ayia Napa, Protaras and Larnaca areas.
