Why you’ll love this…
  • Combine a 4X4 tour with a boat trip
  • Famagusta in the north of Cyprus
  • Four-hour boat trip with swimming and snorkelling
What to expect

Unlock all the secrets of Cyprus by both land and sea. By road, you'll visit two of the island's most intriguing spots – the old town of Famagusta and the ‘ghost town' of Varosha. Then, by sea, there's time to chill out on a relaxing cruise to the Blue Lagoon.

Travelling in an off-road vehicle, your first pit stop is the Famagusta Culture Centre to understand the history of the island. Then, you'll pass through the UN buffer zone to the northern part of the island – pass by Varosha, once a popular beach resort.

Afterwards, you'll head to Famagusta old town, where you can explore the Venetian city walls, its collection of church ruins, or the Gothic cathedral turned mosque. Finally, you'll trade exploration for relaxation with a boat cruise to the Blue Lagoon, where there's lunch on board and plenty of time to swim, snorkel or sunbathe.

Famagusta en Salamis dagtocht
Excursies & Dagtrips

Famagusta en Salamis dagtocht

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.
