Description
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.
Famagusta is a fascinating city with thousands of years of rich history. Step back in time as you explore the ruins of churches, chapels, palaces and other historically important buildings.
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.
It is said that Famagusta has the remains of 365 religious places including mosques, churches and chapels. The city is encased by huge Venetian walls which once protected the city. Walk around the walls and visit the Othello's tower.
The old town is full of bustling lanes and streets lined with bustling shops, cafe's and restaurants. There's a feel of east meets west and modern times meeting the past all in this engaging city.
This tour lasts around 5-6 hours and your own private guide will show you the most interesting places in this unique area.
