We will then explore the old city with its stunning Venetian walls, take photos, shop, or relax with a coffee. You can also visit the Othello Tower and capture breathtaking photos from the top.

One of the trip’s highlights is the ‘Blue Lagoon,’ known for its crystal-clear waters. Here, you can relax, swim, or snorkel, with snorkeling equipment provided on board for free. During this scenic and memorable cruise, we will have another opportunity to swim. A delicious lunch prepared by our chef, accompanied by a complimentary local drink, will be served on board.

Best day - What an absolutely amazing experience it was.
After reading a review about guide George here we were bit unsure but I am so glad we decided to come.
This trip without him would be only half of the experience.
Absolutely lovely guy with good manners, good sense of humor and most important good knowledge of history and his job.
Just could not recommend enough.
Guide, Jeep, boat , lunch all 10 out of five 🌟

Expected more - Jeep safari and one boat trip along the Bleu Lagoon. You expect to experience a jeep safari over the rocks and through forests. This is not it, it is crammed into a jeep with 10 people and then straight over the 80 km road to Famagusta. You have to go through a checkpoint twice and your passports are checked. This takes 40 minutes of the excursion time both there and back. We had a tour with 9 jeeps. The boat left at 12 o'clock so it was a race against the clock and we ended up walking 45 minutes in Famagusta. On the boat you have 10 places in the sun, the other 80 people sat below deck and that was chilly. You had to buy your own drinks (4 euros for a soft drink or beer). We had lunch at 2:00 PM (which is late if you are already on the road at 8 AM). At lunch you could only choose from red or white wine or juice (lemon juice) if you wanted something else, you had to buy it at the bar. Overall I didn't think it was worth the money. 93.00 paid per person.

Beautiful trip but unprofessional guide - We had a blast visiting Famagusta and swimming in the Blue Lagoon was a beautiful ending to our excursion. But we did encounter rather unpleasant moments with our guide George Michael. He said innapropriate and very unprofessoinal sexually tinted things which made us very uncomfterable. He makes it very obvious and awkward that he has a “powerful” position. The excursion was amazing I would really recommend it but it’s dissapointing that he might do or has done this to other tourists as well. Hopefully this will be taken into consideration.

Famagusta viewpoint at 20 min. - I cant suggest this trip, because it was very poor trip. Just as you know, from Famagusta you will see very little. You will see this city from side and behind the defence. You will not go into city. At this Famagusta viewpoint you will be around 20min only.
The bout tour also was very boring. Not much happening.
