About this experience
Venture to the dramatic east coast of Cyprus on this exclusive private Famagusta day tour from Limassol — where ancient ruins, medieval fortresses, and a haunting ghost town tell the most extraordinary story in the Mediterranean.
Your first stop is the legendary ancient city of Salamis — once the most powerful city in Cyprus, founded according to myth by Teucer, the heroic archer of Homer's Iliad. Wander among grand colonnades and a magnificent Roman theatre that whisper tales of empires long gone.
Next, discover enchanting Famagusta Old Town — step inside the formidable Othello Castle, a 14th-century fortress immortalised by Shakespeare, and admire the breathtaking Cathedral of Saint Nicholas — a Gothic masterpiece inspired by Notre Dame, later transformed into a mosque. Walk atop the ancient city walls for sweeping panoramic views.
The unforgettable finale? A glimpse of Varosha — the infamous ghost town frozen in time since 1974, a haunting reminder of Cyprus' turbulent history.
