Highlights

Our journey begins with a visit to the village of Derynia and the Famagusta Viewpoint. You’ll get an insight into the pre-1974 life in Famagusta, including its famed tourist area, Varosha, before the Turkish invasion. Please be aware that a comprehensive guided tour will only be conducted at the Famagusta Viewpoint before moving northward.
We’ll proceed towards the checkpoint and cross over to the Turkish army-occupied northern part of the island, passing the ‘ghost city’ where entry is strictly prohibited. We’ll also uncover the remnants of the old city with its remarkable Venetian walls, where you can photograph, shop, or simply unwind with a cup of coffee. A visit to the Othello Tower is a must for capturing breathtaking photographs.
Next, we head east towards the stunning beaches where we’ll hop onto our cruise boat. Get ready to sail along the shoreline, taking in views of scattered coves and sea caves. Our boat will dock at the crystalline Blue Lagoon—an unforgettable highlight of this excursion. Perfect your swimming or snorkelling skills in the transparent waters or simply sit back and relax. Snorkelling gear will be provided for free on board. Our sailing experience will be spiced up with a bonus swim-stop and a complimentary local drink, served alongside a scrumptious lunch prepared by our chef on board.
Please bear in mind, onboard guiding will not be administered during the cruise. Rare instances of unfavorable weather conditions or other uncontrollable factors could result in the cancellation of the boat trip and lunch. In such cases, guests will be reimbursed with €28.00 per adult and €15.00 per child.

Interesting area and tour - This was an excellent tour through an interesting area. George Michael was an entertaining and informative tour guide that kept things moving. The boat cruise was a relaxing way to see more of the area with a very good lunch.

Great Guide, great tour, great Cyprus, some opportunities! - We had a wonderful guide George Micheal. He was not only informative, and funny, but a real people person. We visited The heartbreaking ghost town of Famagusta and then when on a cruise to a few sites such as the blue lagoon and caves. All and all it was more than worth the price. There were some opportunities, such as; 1 Late pick ups ( as everyone received the same pickup time at several hotels). 2 Lunch was okay, it was not up the amazing flavorful Cyprus cuisine. 3 Since, we only took paved roads, a more comfortable vehicle would have have been appreciated.

Must have tour with George Michael - a living legend - This was one of the most memorable tour experiences I ever had - our driver & guide George Michael (indeed that's his name!) made it personal, informative and fun at the same time. It includes a jeep ride into the occupied part of Cyprus as well as cruising on a ship & stopping by to swim in an amazing environment. You may find the tour a bit on the expensive side (so did we as well), but it includes a lunch as well and is a fantastic experience and as such it's well worth it. Highly recommended!
