Additional Information

Embark on a day-long visit to the occupied northern section of Cyprus, where three captivating locations beckon. Gear up for an exploration of the ancient city of Salamis, step back in time in the historic town of Famagusta, and discover the deserted ‘ghost town’ of Varosha.

Your travel through history commences at Salamis, a city that dates back to the classical era. Wander through its olden streets, desolate temples, and the semi-reconstructed amphitheatre. A visit to the Monastery of St Barnabas will let you appreciate the intriguing icon museum within.

Post lunch, prepare for the eerie view of Varosha - frozen in time for decades. This one-time bustling beach destination has remained untouched post the Turkish incursion over 40 years ago. Before re-routing to the south, you’ll investigate Famagusta, under the guidance of an expert who’ll point out landmarks such as a Venetian fortress and a Gothic church that has been converted into a mosque.
