Beskrivelse

Denne heldagsutflukten til den nordlige delen av Kypros tar deg med til tre av landets mest spennende steder – den antikke byen Salamis, den gamle byen Famagusta og "spøkelsesbyen" Varosha. Elpida, en av lokalguidene våre, sier: "Nord-Kypros er et sted som har frosset i tid. Vi kan til og med stadfeste når – 1974. Og resultatet er en Instagramvennlig potpurri av uferdige hoteller, halvveis ødelagte kirker og tynne minareter."

Vår reise inn i fortiden begynner helt tilbake i antikkens Salamis. Vi utforsker de gamle veiene og tempelruinene samt det delvis restaurerte amfiteateret. Stavroula, en annen av lokalguidene våre, sier: "Ikke bare er Salamis gjennomsyret av eldgamle myter, men den hellige Barnabas, som brakte kristendommen til Kypros i det første århundre, er gravlagt i et kloster i nærheten."

Etter tid på egen hånd til lunsj utforsker vi Famagusta, hvis gamleby fortsatt er beskyttet av intakte forsvarsmurer som venetianerne bygget for århundrer siden. Guiden viser oss severdigheter som det venetianske slottet og den gotiske katedralen som nå er moské. Elpida sier: "Foran hovedinngangen står det et fikentre som ble plantet av korsfarerne som bygde katedralen – så det er det eldste levende vesenet i Famagusta i dag". Vi avrunder turen med en spasertur i "spøkelsesbyen" Varosha. Dette en gang så populære feriestedet har ligget forlatt i mer enn 50 år. Det er en surrealistisk opplevelse å gå på gjengrodde gater med smuldrende fasader med rustne skodder og knuste vinduer.

Ancient Kourion, Kolossi Castle, Omodos and winery tour from Limassol

Cyprus is all rolling hills dotted with pretty villages. On this adults-only tour, you'll see where a legend was born, visit the ruins of Kourion, venture to the village of Omodos and cap off the day with a wine tasting. Eva, one of our local guides, says of this excursion, ‘You'll wander through layers of history, culture and mythology.'You'll dive straight into the past at Kourion, one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Cyprus. Visit the Roman baths and amble into the site's centrepiece, the Greco-Roman theatre. Concerts are still held to this day. While the mosaics of the trio of excavated houses known as those of Eustolius, the Gladiators and Achilles are as impressive as when they were laid down. The 15th-century Kolossi Castle is up next. This steeped-in-legend Crusader-built fortress is nowadays surrounded by blooming plants. Then, we'll head for a local lunch in a family-run taverna before visiting mountain-fringed Omodos where you'll wander around skinny cobbled streets lined with Byzantine buildings. It's Eva's favourite village. She says, ‘The charm of the stone houses, the tranquillity and peace. It's as if it has sprung from a fairytale. I love dropping into one of the cafés and seeing locals have philosophical discussions, political arguments and a bit of gossip.' To finish, there's a wine tasting session, where you'll learn all about sweet commandaria wine – one of the oldest varieties in the world.

Your day begins at Avakas Gorge, perhaps Cyprus' most impressive natural wonder, with a half-hour walk through its deep canyon with sheer walls of limestone that form a natural, narrow tunnel. Other star turns include Lara Beach, where a turtle conservation project has been protecting sea turtles for decades, enjoying lunch not far from Latchi harbour, and then a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon where you can take a dip in water so clear you'll see your toes.
