What to expect

Nicosia is a fascinating city to explore – offering you a glimpse of two very different worlds. This tour starts in the Cypriot southern area and passes the 'Green Line' buffer zone to explore the northern part of Nicosia.

Your first stop is the St John's Cathedral built in the Franco-Byzantine style – unique to Cyprus – and the Cyprus Folk Art Museum, housed in the premises of the old Archbishopric Palace. Next up is a walking tour through the historic streets of Laiki Geitonia inside the Venetian city walls. It's a maze of winding streets with churches, squares and ornate buildings, and feels more like a village than the heart of a city,

After passing the Green Line to the north, you'll hear tales of the city's history and culture as you tick off some of the main sites. Then, walk back into the southern area to Ledra Street and embrace modern city life under your own steam.

Journée de visite à Famagouste et Salamine
Excursions à la journée

Journée de visite à Famagouste et Salamine

Cette visite de la partie nord de Chypre passe par plusieurs périodes de l'histoire : antique, médiévale et des années 1970. Les vedettes de cette journée sont les vestiges de la cité classique de Salamine, de la vieille ville de Famagouste, ainsi que la "ville fantôme" de Varosha. Stavroula, l'une de nos guides locales expertes, dit : "La région de Famagouste est riche en trésors de l'Antiquité, du Moyen Âge et au-delà. Selon la légende locale, les gens de l'époque médiévale étaient si riches qu'ils ont construit 365 églises pour louer Dieu chaque jour, le remerciant pour leur mode de vie aisé et leur abondance."Votre aventure commence à Salamine, une ville fondée à l'époque classique et la capitale de Chypre pendant plus de mille ans. Vous explorerez les anciennes routes et les temples en ruine jadis peuplés et animés de cette métropole. L'amphithéâtre partiellement restauré est un incontournable, car il donne un aperçu du passé à son apogée, avec des spectacles et des événements. Vous continuerez au monastère datant du 5e siècle de Saint-Barnabé avec son musée d'icônes, dont certaines remontent à la période byzantine.Vous continuez avec une courte promenade guidée dans l'ancienne ville balnéaire de Varosha, où le temps s'est arrêté depuis des décennies. Cette station balnéaire autrefois populaire est abandonnée depuis près de 50 ans. Après du temps libre pourmanger le midi, vous terminez par Famagouste, une ville qui était jadis l'une des plus riches de la Méditerranée. Votre guide vous montrera des sites tels que le château vénitien et la cathédrale gothique devenue mosquée.
