An Unforgettable Journey through Kyrenia, Famagusta, and Nicosia

Journey with us to Kyrenia, nestled on the northern coast of Cyprus, where the Byzantine-era Castle stands proudly, its walls echoing the tales of civilizations past. After a scenic drive, we ascend to the charming Bellapais village, nestled in the Kyrenia mountains. Its name, a testament to the serene Monastery that graces its landscape. An hour's drive transports us to the medieval marvel of Famagusta, a city encased within ancient walls. Here, we explore the gothic grandeur of St. Nicholas Cathedral, a relic from the Lusignan period, among other historical treasures. Enjoy free time to savour local cuisine (at an additional cost) and explore the city at your own pace. Next, we tread the eerie silence of Varosha, known as the 'Ghost Town'. Do ghosts truly wander here? I'll unveil its captivating story as we wander through its abandoned streets. Our final destination is Nicosia, the last divided capital in Europe, teeming with an intriguing mix of history and culture. My mission is to ensure your day is etched with unforgettable moments, rich history, vibrant culture, and shared laughter, making the most of your precious time in Cyprus.

Reviews

We have a special tour in October 2015. Sirin is our travel guide. She led us to visit Famagusta, Salamis, Kyrenia and Nicosia. I am very grateful to her for seriously explaining, let us know the history of Northern Cyprus and visited many beautiful places. I saw her enthusiasm for culture and sense of justice. The smile is always on her face. So I told her the event of "An Era of Conscience". After she understands this event which is beneficial to the world, she is also willing to respond. She is a very patient and very nice person. I hope I can meet her again when I visit Northern Cyprus next time.

I spent Saturday after-noon in north Nicosia; should have gone over earlier as I missed a couple of museums but was happy with what I had time to see. The buildings of and around the Selima Mosque are wonderful. At Buyuk Han I was able to find the linen material used for the Lefkara embroidery/lace so I bought a length. Interesting how north and south Nicosia differ. The more historical and interesting buildings are probably in the north except for St John’s Cathedral with is incredible inside.. I stayed in south Nicosia and crossed over into the north without any hassle. Sirin was waiting for me on the two days I had engaged her as my guide. Should I visit north Cyprus again, I hope Sirin is available for guiding . North Cyprus has some beautiful scenery as well as interesting antiquities.
