Embark on a journey to the historical city of Salamis, the quaint old town of Famagusta and the abandoned enclave of Varosha.
Your voyage into history commences in classical times at Salamis. You’ll meander through its dilapidated temples, the partially revived theater, and more.
Following a leisurely lunch, you’ll explore Famagusta, where the old town is safeguarded by preserved fortifications constructed by the Venetians hundreds of years ago. Your tour guide will present attractions such as the fortress and the Gothic church that has been converted into a mosque. Elpida has shared, ‘An ancient fig tree planted by the Crusaders who erected the cathedral stands at the main entrance – it is considered the oldest living entity in Famagusta.’ Concluding the excursion, there’s a walking tour in the derelict ‘ghost town’ of Varosha. This former bustling beach resort has lain deserted since the Turkish incursion and was made accessible to tourists only in 2020. Wandering through the overgrown streets of decaying façades with oxidized shutters and shattered windows is an uncanny experience.
