Beschreibung

Nicosia is a fascinating city to explore – offering you a glimpse of two very different worlds. This tour starts in the Cypriot southern area and passes the 'Green Line' buffer zone to explore the northern part of Nicosia.

Your first stop is the St. John's Cathedral built in Franco-Byzantine style. Next up is a walking tour through the historic streets of Laiki Geitonia inside the Venetian city walls. It's a maze of winding streets with churches, squares and ornate buildings.

After passing the Green Line, you'll hear tales of the city's history and culture as you tick off some of the main sites. Then, pass back into the southern area to Ledra Street and embrace modern city life under your own steam.

    te lange busrit, zonder op de weg iets echt bezienswaardig te noemen bezocht, grensovergang moet je meegemaakt hebben, maar verder niks te zien of te bekijken in turkse deel, wandeling in nicossia was eigenlijk een shopnamiddag in plaats van een ontdekkingstocht

    De excursie was vrij mager in totaliteit. De gids gaf wel uitgebreide historische informatie tijdens de busrit en een goede uitleg betreffende de iconen in de kerk, maar dat was ook de enige toevoeging. Bezoek aan Nicosia viel tegen, vooral het Turkse deel. Aanschaf van kleding werd strikt ontraden, controle bij retour was nihil. Busrit van 2x 2 uur was slenteren door winkelstraat niet waard.

    Deze trip viel een beetje tegen. Nicosia is zo’n bijzondere en mooie stad dat we dachten dat we daar meer onder leiding van de gids zouden zien. Bij aankomst gingen we eerst naar een kerk waar we lang wachtten om naar binnen te kunnen en vervolgens naar een museum. De kerk was op zich bijzonder, het museum voegde voor ons helemaal niks toe. Achteraf denk ik dat als je met de bus naar Nicosia gaat en zelf een wandeling voorbereidt, je net zoveel of meer plezier hebt.

    De verdeeldheid in de stad vonden we leuk om te zien. De kathederaal was erg mooi, jammer dat we er geen foto’s van mochten maken. Het stond mooier beschreven dan werkelijk, je kreeg namelijk erg veel vrije tijd en ging dan weer terug na een rit van 2.5 uur heen en terug. Ook jammer dat 2 kerken dicht waren en alleen van de buitenkant foto’s gemaakt mochten worden.

    We hebben lang in de bus gezeten (in totaal 4 uur). Een drietal gebouwen hebben we alleen aan de buitenkant gezien. De gids vertelde hier het eea over. Helaas zijn we daar niet binnen geweest. Wel zijn we binnen in de kathedraal met prachtige fresco's geweest. Na een drankje en klein hapje hadden we ruim 2 uur vrije tijd. Ik had liever gehad dat we in die tijd in 1 van de gebouwen waren geweest.

Ancient Kourion tour with Paphos Harbour visit

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.

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.
