Discover the fascinating medieval past of Cyprus on a private guided tour of Famagusta, a beautifully preserved walled city on the island’s eastern coast. Your journey begins in this historic enclave, where centuries-old architecture and vibrant local culture await every step of the way.
Start your exploration at the iconic Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, once the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas. This striking Gothic structure, often compared to Paris’s Notre Dame, stands as a symbol of Famagusta’s diverse heritage and serves as an unforgettable introduction to the city’s rich tapestry of influences.
Stroll through the city’s atmospheric streets, lined with boutique shops and inviting restaurants, as your guide shares captivating stories from Famagusta’s days as the "City of 365 Churches." Immerse yourself in the local culture and marvel at the impressive medieval walls that have withstood the test of time.
Your adventure continues with a visit to either the ancient Roman city of Salamis, where well-preserved ruins and mosaics speak to a glorious past, or the enigmatic Varosha Ghost Town, a haunting district abandoned since 1974. Both options provide a unique perspective on Cyprus’s layered history and cultural evolution.

The meeting point is conveniently set in central Famagusta, and the tour typically lasts several hours, allowing ample time to explore.
