Welcome to our exclusive photo gallery showcasing tours of Varosha, one of the most intriguing and poignant destinations in Cyprus. Once a thriving resort area, Varosha has been frozen in time since 1974, offering a unique glimpse into the past. As you browse through these evocative images, let the haunting beauty of Varosha inspire you to book your next unforgettable adventure.
Varosha is a ghost town located in Famagusta, Cyprus. Before 1974, it was a bustling tourist destination known for its luxurious hotels, pristine beaches, and vibrant nightlife. However, following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, Varosha was abandoned and has remained uninhabited ever since. Today, it stands as a poignant reminder of the island’s complex history, with nature slowly reclaiming the once-grand structures.
Nowhere else on the island do so many eras lie so close together as in Famagusta.
This private tour takes you across the border into Northern Cyprus, where you’ll walk through a maze of medieval streets, step inside Gothic cathedrals turned mosques, and see history that’s still alive – and history that was suddenly frozen in Famagusta.
Whether you choose after Famagusta to visit the Roman ruins of Salamis or the haunting silence of Varosha, the infamous ghost town abandoned since 1974 – this tour will leave you thinking long after it ends.
Expect grand city walls, golden sandstone, and stories etched into every block.
