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.

    Hi, trip was very good. Loved the walled city, Salamis the Ghost town . The guide Nic was very knowledgable and took his time to explain the history of each . The Ghost town has changed a lot, with all personal items removed and people running around on bicycles and electric scooters, not respecting the history of the site. It is along day but worth it. I would have liked some extra time at the Ghost town but understood the time restraint.

    The day was very enjoyable with several stops along the way for toilet breaks which was good. The final ghost town was bigger than expected and the time given to walk around without the guide wasn’t long enough. We found we had walked quite away to the realise that we had to quickly rush back for the bus. We did see people on scooters which should have maybe offered at the beginning as once you were in the town it was too late. Other than that a fantastic day.

    The day was very full on. We all had a great day. Negative part was that being in Pathos we had an extra two hours on the coach. We didn't need all the coffee, toilet breaks. Maybe ask the people on the bus if they want one, if not then carry on. This would give us more time to walk around the village of Famagusta. We had to make the choice of having a quick lunch which was a bit rushed, so that we had more time to walk around. As it was the main event of the day, we would have preferred longer

    A well organised tour, Chris our tour guide had a wealth of information to share and gave in-depth explanations of the interesting history of Cyprus and the sites we visited. It was a long day but enjoyed every minute.

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

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.

Ancient Kourion tour with Paphos Harbour visit
Excursions & day trips

Ancient Kourion tour with Paphos Harbour visit

Cyprus is home to some hugely important ancient Greek and Roman sites. On this tour, you'll take in Aphrodite's Rock, ancient Paphos and the Tombs of the Kings, visit Kourion – and enjoy free time in the Paphos harbour area. Andreas, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The Tombs of the Kings offer us a valuable insight into ancient Mediterranean culture. There are very similar tombs in Alexandria, demonstrating the strong ties between the two cities in ancient times.'After a coffee pit-stop along the way, you'll stop by Kourion archaeological site to see landmarks such as the theatre – dating from the 2nd century BC – and the Agora. En route to Paphos, there's a photo stop at Petra tou Romiou – or Aphrodite's Rock – where, legend has it, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty emerged from the sea foam. Andreas says, ‘At Kourion, you see the ruined house of Eustolios and find out what life was like here before the city was destroyed by an earthquake in the 4th century.'Next, we'll head to ancient Paphos for a guided visit of the Tombs of the Kings, the House of Dionysos and its well-preserved mosaics. Andreas says, ‘The rock-hewn Tombs of the Kings were not actually intended for royalty, but instead the aristocracy and island governors were laid to rest here. The name reflects the sheer grandeur of the necropolis.' Later, you'll enjoy some free time to shop and wander around Paphos Harbour. Maybe you can stroll along the waterfront or grab a bite to eat at one of the many terrace cafés.
