Dit kun je verwachten

Op deze tour naar het noordelijke deel van Cyprus ontdek je meerdere lagen van de geschiedenis - de oudheid, de middeleeuwen en de jaren zeventig. De sterren van vandaag zijn de ruïnes van het antieke Salamis en het oude centrum van Famagusta, plus de 'spookstad' Varosha. Stavroula, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "Het gebied rond Famagusta is rijk aan schatten uit de oudheid, de middeleeuwen en daarna. Volgens de lokale overlevering waren de mensen in de middeleeuwen zo rijk dat ze 365 kerken bouwden om elke dag God te bedanken voor hun comfortabele leven en overvloed.”

Je avontuur begint in Salamis, een stad die in de klassieke oudheid werd gesticht en meer dan duizend jaar de hoofdstad van Cyprus was. Je wandelt over de oude wegen langs de ruïnes van tempels. Het gedeeltelijk gerestaureerde amfitheater is een must-see. Met een beetje fantasie zie je hier de voorstellingen en festivals uit het verleden voor je. Vervolgens ga je naar het 5e-eeuwse klooster van St.-Barnabas, waar je het iconenmuseum met exemplaren uit de Byzantijnse periode bezoekt.

Dan wandel je samen met een gids door het spookachtige Varosha, waar de tijd al tientallen jaren stil staat. Ooit was het een populair vakantieoord, maar is al bijna 50 jaar compleet verlaten. Na wat vrije tijd om te lunchen verken je Famagusta, een stad die in het verleden een van de rijkste steden aan de Middellandse Zee was. De gids laat je de bezienswaardigheden zien, zoals het Venetiaanse kasteel en de gotische kathedraal die nu een moskee is.

    Tour guide Olga was excellent. Knowledgable and passionate about the culture and history. The trip was really interesting and informative about Cyprus. It was essentially a walking tour but that wasn’t made clear in info. I liked this but I think it was a lot for some guests. What I didn’t like was that Tui told everyone to be at pickup point at the same time 8.45 and be there earlier. We were last pick up and therefore waited 45 minutes! It needs to be nuanced as necessary.

    Plenty of information was given, clear and interesting but lunch break was too late in the day and we weren't allowed to snack on the coach so it was a long wait for food

    Eine Geisterstadt und das Grab des Barnabas, das ist schon klasse. Der Tourguide hat alles sehr gut erklärt, auch die Hintergründe des Zypern Krieges.

Ancient Kourion tour with Paphos Harbour visit

Ancient Kourion tour with Paphos Harbour visit

Cyprus is home to some hugely important ancient Greek and Roman sites. On this tour, you'll take in Aphrodite's Rock, ancient Paphos and the Tombs of the Kings, visit Kourion – and enjoy free time in the Paphos harbour area. Andreas, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The Tombs of the Kings offer us a valuable insight into ancient Mediterranean culture. There are very similar tombs in Alexandria, demonstrating the strong ties between the two cities in ancient times.'After a coffee pit-stop along the way, you'll stop by Kourion archaeological site to see landmarks such as the theatre – dating from the 2nd century BC – and the Agora. En route to Paphos, there's a photo stop at Petra tou Romiou – or Aphrodite's Rock – where, legend has it, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty emerged from the sea foam. Andreas says, ‘At Kourion, you see the ruined house of Eustolios and find out what life was like here before the city was destroyed by an earthquake in the 4th century.'Next, we'll head to ancient Paphos for a guided visit of the Tombs of the Kings, the House of Dionysos and its well-preserved mosaics. Andreas says, ‘The rock-hewn Tombs of the Kings were not actually intended for royalty, but instead the aristocracy and island governors were laid to rest here. The name reflects the sheer grandeur of the necropolis.' Later, you'll enjoy some free time to shop and wander around Paphos Harbour. Maybe you can stroll along the waterfront or grab a bite to eat at one of the many terrace cafés.

Full-day guided tour of Fikardou, Machairas and Lefkara

You'll leave no stone unturned as you explore Cyprus's hidden corners. This exclusive excursion takes in remote highland villages, dramatic landscapes and a revered monastery. It also includes a traditional Cypriot lunch. Stavroula, one of our local guides on this tour, says, ‘Fikardou village is an excellent example of rural mountain life, where the 19th-century architecture is in complete harmony with the environment.' A real taste of what's to come.Heading inland, you'll arrive mid-morning at rustic and laidback Fikardou. All cobblestones and historic houses, time seems to have frozen here. And with free time to explore, you'll find that ancient traditions still hold their way. It's so well-preserved that it's on UNESCO's tentative list of world heritage sites. Next, you'll head to the 12th-century Macharias Monastery, which is located on a remote hillside. Its lavishly decorated interior houses a sacred icon of the Virgin Mary.Then, it's time for a traditional Cypriot lunch, prepared with locally sourced ingredients and served at a family-run restaurant on the way to Lefkara. The tour ends on a high in charming Lefkara, a village famed for its handmade lace and embroidery. ‘Women, young and old, can be seen seated outside their homes and shops making lace,' says Stavroula. ‘For hundreds of years, the men from the village have travelled all over Europe to sell it, even Leonardo da Vinci bought some.'

Caledonia Waterfalls full-day tour with local guide and lunch

Caledonia Waterfalls full-day tour with local guide and lunch

Trade the beach for the cool, shaded vibes of the Troodos Mountains – where nature's about to blow your mind. We're talking a three-kilometre hike, leading you to Caledonia Falls, one of Cyprus's tallest and most beautiful waterfalls, before heading to the village of Platres for a tasty, traditional lunch. Andi, one of our expert local guides, says, "You'll love the hike as much as the destination – it's like stepping into a fairytale, with cute little bridges crisscrossing along the stream all the way to the waterfall." But first, you'll kick things off at Kolossi Fruit Garden. Think juicy fruit and zesty lemonade to get you prepped for the adventure ahead. As you wind through the forest, the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream keeps you company – it's the perfect backdrop for those Insta-gold pics, almost like the Greek Gods are keeping tabs on you. You'll delve deeper along the forest nature tail, among old pines and strawberry trees, until reaching the showstopper – Caldonia Falls. Here, you can dip your toes in the shaded freshwater pool, snap some pics, and soak up the magic. The falls were named by a Scottish expedition in 1878, who were so wowed by how much it reminded them of home, they named it after Caledonia, the Roman name for Scotland. Afterwards, you'll head to Psilo Dendro, in Platres, for a well-deserved lunch. With its own trout farm, the fish here is as fresh as it gets – the perfect way to wrap up your mountain adventure.
