Description:

Venture into northern Cyprus to explore the Turkish occupied side of the island on this full-day tour. Discover the medieval treasures of Famagusta as well as the kingdom of Salamis. See iconic landmarks and learn more about Cyprus's intriguing history.

Board a comfortable coach, sit back, and take a break as you ride through inner Cyprus and head toward Famagusta. Arrive in Northern Cyprus and pay a visit to the ancient city-state of Salamis, which sits just north of Famagusta. Here you get to see a restored amphitheater and gymnasium as well as majestic columns and charming marble statues.

Then continue your journey to Famagusta, a city boasting fine medieval architecture, home to many preserved historic landmarks. Let your guide lead you to Othello's Tower, the fortress that guards both the harbor and city. Walk through these historic grounds and admire the Venetian fortifications that date back to 1500 BC.

Before returning to Larnaca, enjoy lunch and some free time to explore at your own pace. Wander through the city and come across the former St. Nicholas Cathedral (now Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque) or see the stunning frescoes of St. George of the Greeks Church as you stroll through town.
