What to expect

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.

    Tour was as described, well organised, and being a small group when we went, kept well to time. Chris was knowledgeable and efficient. From Limassol, I’d highly recommend. I know that the people from Paphos had a longer travel time, but for us, it wasn’t a challenging day.

    I enjoyed the chance to go to Nicosia and the guide was very knowledgeable with lots of interesting facts. Unfortunately she was rather obsessed with excessively out toilet facilities wherever we went! We expected to hear a bit more about the buffer zone and “no man’s land” but this wasn’t covered. Also there was a limit to what you could do on the Turkish side as all the stalls sold counterfeit goods which you’re not allowed to take back over the border.

    It was an excellent tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and kept us all together. The lemonade stop was very good and we had plenty of free time after. The temperature was very hot so was quite tiring. Overall very good value for money

La ville de Famagouste, Salamine et la ville fantôme de Varosha
Excursions à la journée

La ville de Famagouste, Salamine et la ville fantôme de Varosha

Cette visite d'une journée complète dans la partie nord de Chypre vous emmène dans trois des endroits les plus fascinants du territoire. Vous découvrirez la cité antique de Salamine, la vieille ville de Famagouste et la "ville fantôme" de Varosha. Elpida, l'un de nos guides locaux, explique : "Le nord de Chypre est un lieu figé dans le temps. Nous pouvons même en déterminer la date : 1974. Le résultat est un pot-pourri Instagrammable d'hôtels inachevés, d'églises à moitié détruites et de minarets maigres."Votre voyage dans le passé commence à l'époque classique, à Salamine. Vous explorerez ses temples en ruine, son théâtre partiellement restauré et bien d'autres. Stavroula, une autre de nos guides locaux, ajoute : "Non seulement Salamis est imprégnée de mythes anciens, mais saint Barnabé, qui a apporté le christianisme à Chypre au premier siècle, est enterré dans un monastère voisin".Après un temps libre pour le repas du midi, vous visiterez Famagouste, dont la vieille ville est toujours protégée par des murs défensifs intacts construits par les Vénitiens il y a plusieurs siècles. Votre guide vous montrera des sites tels que le château et la cathédrale gothique devenue mosquée. Selon Elpida, "devant l'entrée principale se trouve un figuier planté par les croisés qui ont construit la cathédrale. C'est le plus vieil organisme vivant de Famagouste". La visite s'achève par une promenade dans la "ville fantôme" de Varosha. Cette station balnéaire autrefois populaire est restée abandonnée depuis plus de 50 ans. C'est une expérience surréaliste que de marcher dans les rues envahies par la végétation, avec des façades en ruine, des volets rouillés et des fenêtres cassées.
