Kyrenia Cyprus, also known as Girne in Turkish, is a charming coastal town with a history that dates back to antiquity. Nestled between the pristine Mediterranean Sea and the rugged Kyrenia Mountains, this idyllic location boasts a blend of natural beauty and historical significance. The town is famous for its well-preserved Venetian harbor, ancient castles, and narrow cobblestone streets lined with vibrant shops and cafes.
After the Ottoman conquest of Cyprus in 1571, Christians were expelled from Famagusta and forced to build new homes outside the walls. After independence from Great Britain, Varosha developed into a well-known tourist resort in the 1960s and 1970s. Large hotel complexes were built near the beach.
A year before the civil war and the Turkish invasion, Varosha was generating more than 50% of the island’s total income from tourism. There were now 45 hotels with more than 10,000 beds, 60 apartment hotels, almost 100 recreation centres, 21 banks, 24 theatres and cinemas and around 3,000 large and small shops. The population was just under 32,000.
If you’re looking for an adventurous dive with dramatic light effects and natural formations, Tunnels & Caves in Cape Greco is a must-see.
This dive site Tunnels and Caves Dive Cyprus feels like an underwater labyrinth, where rock arches, swim-throughs, and narrow tunnels invite certified divers to explore a more rugged side of Cyprus.
The clear waters and diverse marine life make this site ideal for intermediate divers who want to sharpen their navigation skills while enjoying one of the most photogenic dive environments on the island.
With SancyTours, this dive becomes a private adventure, guided and adapted entirely to your preferences and experience level.
The Blue Lagoon of Cyprus, nestled within the Cape Greco National Forest Park, is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and stunning surroundings.
The rocky and rugged coastline of Cape Greco contrasts beautifully with the sandy underwater areas reminiscent of the Caribbean. Large seagrass meadows contribute to the water’s clarity, while rocks with crevices and caves provide a habitat for numerous sea creatures, making snorkeling a fascinating adventure. Despite being a large bay, the Blue Lagoon offers a sense of solitude even if other boats are present.

Discover the captivating underwater world of the Elpida Wreck Cyprus, one of Cyprus’s most intriguing dive sites, through our stunning photo gallery. Each image is a portal into the mysterious depths where the Elpida lies, offering divers a chance to explore a relatively new artificial reef that has quickly become a haven for marine life and an exciting exploration site for adventure seekers.
The Elpida, meaning „hope“ in Greek, is a vessel intentionally sunk in 2019 off the coast of Larnaca to create an artificial reef. This dive site has since flourished, attracting a diverse array of marine life and providing divers with the opportunity to witness the ecological succession in a controlled environment. The ship rests in a relatively shallow part of the sea, making it accessible to both intermediate and advanced divers.
Nowhere else in Cyprus do so many eras meet so closely as in Famagusta Cyprus. Behind massive Venetian walls lies a city shaped by crusaders, merchants, and empires.
Northern Cyprus is much less visited than Greek Cyprus in the south, but offers just as many sights. One of these is the walled old town of Famagusta Cyprus with a truly large number of very well preserved medieval buildings. Famagusta, in Turkish Gazimagusa, is located on the east coast of Cyprus, just over the border and within easy reach of us.
During our Famagusta Cyprus tour we will guide you live through the interesting history of Famagusta and show you some of the most important sights. We offer this tour in combination with a visit to the ancient city of Salamis.
Our Romantic Tour Event is unique and offers all lovers the perfect setting to show their mutual affection and love or to celebrate special days. The perfect setting and the legends surrounding it guarantee a tingling sensation that only love can create.
A mystical aura surrounds the places we will visit during our private guided tour. Whether you make a wish over the Bridge of Lovers or under the Tree of Lovers, it will come true, guided by good spirits.

We knew that you need an agent to enter Turkey by boat, so we booked one early and sent him the documents so that he could prepare everything as we had discussed. The whole procedure should only take about 30 minutes. more »
Early in the morning we cast off from Nisiros and first of all got some distance to the coast, because it is still quite dark. So we could once again enjoy the sunrise on board. Today there are already waves, but much less and only one metre high. Course Rhodes. Later the wind shifted and blew in our faces, which made progress a lot slower. With Turkey on one side and Rhodes on the other, we made our way to Rhodes City. more »
5:00 a.m. We cast off from Naxos. The weather forecast doesn’t bode well, but with a strong northerly wind blowing at our backs, we make faster progress than expected. It’s like surfing today and the boat almost flies over the waves. To avoid the forecast strong winds and the high waves that are supposed to come from early afternoon, we decide to go straight again, so another full compass run. more »
We continue towards the Cyclades. The Aegean and especially the Cyclades and the Dodecanese are known for rapidly changing wind and wave situations. In the afternoon, the weather forecast predicts some more. In order to get as far as possible, we decide not to sail past the islands halfway, but to rely on our navigational skills and sail for a few hours without having any land contact. It’s a bit strange, because we don’t even see any other ships. First we pass the islands of Kea and Kithnos before relying on the compass. At some point we think we can see land in the distance on the port side (left), but our destination cannot be Naxos, it must be Mykonos. Shortly afterwards, relief: land in sight, we are on course and hit the gap between Paros and Naxos. When we arrive in Naxos town we find the harbour full, but we are allowed to moor right next to the access road and have a fuel truck come so that we can continue safely the next morning. The boat needs diesel to run. But we are pleasantly surprised that we only have to fill up with 500 litres. We are early enough to get ready for shore and explore the old town a bit, have something to eat in a good restaurant and, of course, enjoy one or two anchor beers. Then it’s off to the ship, because we want to get up early again. But we won’t get a good night’s sleep, because the marina is right on the promenade and it’s a hive of activity. Thousands of tourists are partying. And right opposite us is an open-air disco. They are still partying here when we cast off at 5:00. This is the second time we have been deprived of sleep by disco and techno music all night.
Poseidon is really demanding on us and the boat this afternoon. We are torn as to whether we should look for a safe hiding place now, even though we wanted to get as far as Lavrio, but we can’t do that with the waves. Via Skipper App we actually find the Marina Astir in Vouliagmenis, south of Piraeus/Athens. When we finally arrive, we find nothing except for a few luxury yachts. No matter, when we simply docked, everything went very quickly. Security and management were on the spot. No electricity, no water, but one night for 375 euros. What were we going to do. It was really tricky outside. So we spent the most expensive night of the trip. But there was a restaurant, everyone in evening dress and we in camouflage. We left it at a beer, because anything over 150 euros was too steep for us. And the guys all had the motto: Your poverty pisses us off. We cooked ourselves a delicious meal, slept peacefully, recharged our batteries and left at 5am. The sea was still choppy, so we only went as far as Lavrio, but even that took a few hours. Here we did a few checks, because the waves had loosened a few cables and caused faults. We stayed in the harbour the next day and treated ourselves to a hotel room, because we were already in a real sailor’s mood. In the evening, we partied hard in an Irish pub, which was a must.
After a very restless night on a buoy in the middle of nowhere, we set off at 5 am, into the first light and, as every morning, with an intense sunrise. Long waves accompany us through the Strait of Corinth, left side Peleonnese. It seems as if this coast is almost uninhabited, only a few small towns, but many bizarre rock formations. After hours we reach the channel, at first everything looks unspectacular. We register by radio and then wait until we are allowed to pass through. But then: it’s an insanely cool experience to drive through, everything is steep and narrow. There are several bridges over the canal, some of them full of tourists. This passage alone was worth the effort. Simply unforgettable. At the exit, a short stop to refuel and pay the canal fee, a staggering 200 euros. But I saved a good 350km. The canal is still open until September, then it will be closed again to install more crash devices, because 3 years ago the canal was blocked by rockfalls. Then we pass Salamis, a place where the Greeks destroyed the Persian fleet almost 2500 years ago. Then we pass Piraeus and see the mighty city of Athens in the background, we can even make out the Acropolis. Right through the middle of a fleet of containers, freighters and tankers, now we see how small our boat is. Well, and then there are greetings from Poseidon again. Just like Odysseus experienced on his tour. It rattles and rocks mightily, waves crash across the boat and we slowly become a plaything of the forces of nature.
5 a.m. Cast off and set sail with the first bit of light. At first we have relatively smooth seas, but that changes again after just one hour. Poseidon has probably noticed that we are sailing on and sends his greetings with wind and waves, and then again a good 40°C, the very warm wind doesn’t really cool us down. Lefkada is an island connected to the mainland by a bridge that is like a ship. Every full hour the bridge ship leaves for 10 minutes, you can pass or you have to wait. In any case, it saves you the tedious walk around the outside of the island. Behind the bridge, a canal-like passage awaits us and first a petrol station, diesel in Greece between 1.85 and 1.95 euros. Now I am not sad that we are travelling slowly, the consumption per hour is now only 20l, before it was sometimes 50l at 25 knots speed. Passing Kalamos, Itaka and Kefalonia, with Zakynthos in sight, we turn into the bay of Patras. We leave Patras on the left and reach the Strait of Corinth at the bridge of Rio. Patras would have been too early to anchor, so we continue. But there is still a lot of wind and waves, so we don’t make it to the next marina (which doesn’t exist either, as we saw the next day). In a mini village near Seleanitika we find a fishermen’s buoy and moor up, which the friendly contemporary allowed us to do afterwards. Very restless night, checking the lines every hour, because we weigh much more than a fishing boat and are also longer, who knows if the buoy anchor will hold. In addition, there was a good swell all night. Meaning: 5 o’clock we let go of the line, hardly slept and had a good shake.
Finally we can continue our adventure and hope to reach Cyprus without any major problems. We are very happy when we get into the water, but then we have another problem… The workshop mixed up forward and reverse when assembling the two drives. To fix this would mean that the boat would have to be taken out of the water again, as it is the weekend and there is no lift space available on Monday, we would lose another week. We decide to cope with the situation, although it means that we can only sail at reduced speed, but it saves a lot of diesel and we need between 12 and 14 hours for the daily stages instead of 8 hours. There is also a change in the crew. Bernd is now back in cool Germany, but I am very happy that my son Phil has taken time off.
With daytime temperatures of almost 40°C, we finally set sail around noon, steam down the coast of Corfu, then cruise towards the mainland with the destination of Lefkada. But Poseidon sends us his greetings on the way, wind 5-6 and over 2m waves, after 4 hours of mighty exertion we have had enough and head for the port of Preveza. Here we need the help of another 4 strong guys to get our boat to the pier, the wind is so strong. Beautiful marina, appropriately named Cleopatra, good restaurant, but also on the other side techno party until 5 in the morning when we leave here again.
