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.
