O que esperar

Este passeio de um dia inteiro pelo norte do Chipre leva você a três dos pontos mais intrigantes do território. Você descobrirá a antiga cidade de Salamina, o centro histórico de Famagusta e a "cidade fantasma" de Varosha. Elpida, uma de nossas guias locais, diz que "o norte do Chipre é um lugar congelado no tempo. Conseguimos até identificar a data: 1974. E o resultado é uma miscelânea instagramável de hotéis inacabados, igrejas semi-arruinadas e minaretes estreitos."

Sua jornada ao passado começa nos tempos clássicos em Salamina. Você explorará seus templos em ruínas, o teatro parcialmente restaurado e muito mais. Stavroula, outro de nossos guias locais, diz que "Salamina não só é rica em mitos antigos, como São Barnabé, que trouxe o cristianismo para Chipre no século I, está enterrado em um mosteiro próximo".

Após o tempo livre para o almoço, você visitará Famagusta, cujo centro histórico ainda é protegido por muralhas defensivas intactas, construídas pelos venezianos há séculos. Seu guia mostrará pontos turísticos como o castelo e a catedral gótica transformada em mesquita. Elpida conta que "em frente à entrada principal há uma figueira plantada pelos cruzados que construíram a catedral – portanto, é o ser vivo mais antigo de Famagusta". Para finalizar a visita, há um passeio a pé pela "cidade fantasma" de Varosha. Este outrora popular resort de praia ficou abandonado por mais de 50 anos. É uma experiência surreal caminhar por ruas cobertas de mato, com fachadas em ruínas, persianas enferrujadas e janelas quebradas.

It was a long drive but the comfort stops were too long. We would have liked a bit less time in the old town. We didn't realise it was an 11 hour tour. The 'ghost town' was interesting, but some people struggled to keep up. Salamis was absolutely amazing. (Also, thanks for the refreshing lemonade.)

Guide could not be heard on the bus over the engine and air conditioning. Many complained but guide was not interested as he said he could not turn the volume up. He didn’t wait for everyone when out and about before he started talking and when asked questions was very snappy and quite rude. Stoped at cafes that he is obviously “friends” with and wanted us to spend money there. Very long day on a cramped coach and learnt nothing of the history - which is what we wanted

The overall knowledge of the guide (Andre) she told us everything we needed to know -it was first class The downside was the return time to our hotel Akti Beach at 2029 hrs gave little time for evening bearing in mind we left the hotel at 0745

Caledonia Waterfalls tour with hike and Cypriot lunch

The lush, cool forest that carpets the Troodos Mountains is an ideal escape near Paphos. A perfect contrast to the beach, you'll journey along a scenic route into the hills, where your destination is the village of Platres. Here, you'll set off on a 3km hike along the stream to the Caledonia Falls, followed by a traditional lunch at Psilo Dendro restaurant. Andri, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll enjoy the journey as much as the destination on this hike, which follows and criss-crosses a stream over a series of little bridges all the way to the waterfall.'We'll get the tour started on a refreshing note with a stop at Kolossi Fruit Garden. Here you'll have the chance to try some fresh lemonade and buy fruit before continuing further into the mountains to the pretty hilltop village of Platres. This is the starting point for the nature trail, which traces the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream through the trees. You'll be glad of sturdy footwear as you head along the scenic trail, which is quite uneven in places with some rocks, roots and rivulets to keep it interesting.It's a forest walk in dappled shade, leading through a variety of gnarly trees including pines and strawberry trees. Once you reach the Caledonia Falls, you'll be able to take a break - and have a paddle if you wish - at the shaded freshwater pool, then continue to the famous Psilo Dendro restaurant with its very own trout farm. Relax over lunch – needless to say, trout is a speciality – and end the day on a high.

Evening drink at Aphrodite's Rock and Cypriot folk dinner

Tasty meze, music and dancing – this trip has all the ingredients for a right old Cypriot night. And if that wasn't enough, it all comes after a drink overlooking Aphrodite's Rock – birthplace of the mythical goddess of love. Alexia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘At the taverna, you'll get together with the locals and feel their culture and dance. Nothing is better than the 100% authentic cuisine cooked by the women of the village, just like they cook at home.' Join us for a knees-up to remember in one of the area's most popular tavernas.We'll kick off with a short drive towards Petra tou Romiou – as Aphrodite's Rock is known locally. Clink glasses at this mythical sea stack and enjoy the evening light while sipping on a sparkling wine. ‘A celebration in honour of the goddess,' as Alexia says. You'll then head to the village of Kouklia, a short drive inland from the coast, for a Cypriot dinner with a difference.A first sight, it's a typical family-run taverna. You'll get to savour just about every Cypriot dish you could possibly wish for. The emphasis is on pure ingredients and traditional meze – cooked the way they've been for generations – washed down with local wines. But on summer evenings, the family takes over the street, hosting feasts of folkloric music and dancing. Let your hair down and join the locals with some boogying and shaking on the outdoor terrace. As nights out go, it's a showstopper.
