Varosha Sightseeing Tour – Private Ghost Town Experience

There are places that don’t just impress you — they stay with you. On this Varosha Sightseeing Tour, you enter one of the most surreal and emotionally powerful locations in Cyprus: a city frozen in time, shaped by history, silence and abandonment.

Behind fences and warning signs lies a once-glamorous seaside district that suddenly became inaccessible for decades. Today, parts of Varosha can be explored again — and walking its empty streets feels like stepping into a different world. Crumbling hotels, overgrown gardens and faded facades create a haunting atmosphere that is impossible to compare with any “normal” sightseeing stop.

This Varosha Sightseeing Tour is completely private — only you and your travel companions. No crowds, no bus groups, no stress. Just time to absorb the place, take incredible photos, and understand why Varosha remains one of the most discussed locations on the island.

Varosha Sightseeing Tour – Private Ghost Town Experience

Our Varosha Sightseeing Tour is designed for travelers who want to experience Cyprus beyond beaches and typical sightseeing routes. Varosha is not just a place — it is a story, a symbol, and one of the most unusual “lost cities” in Europe.

Your tour begins with a comfortable hotel pick-up included (depending on where you stay). We welcome guests from Larnaca, Oroklini, Pyla, as well as the wider Ayia Napa, Paralimni and Protaras areas. From there, we travel privately toward this extraordinary destination.

Once inside the accessible areas of Varosha, the atmosphere changes instantly. Streets remain eerily quiet, buildings stand abandoned, and nature slowly takes back what people once built. During your Varosha Sightseeing Tour, your private guide will share background information and explain why this place became a ghost town — without overwhelming you with politics, but helping you truly understand what you are seeing.

You’ll have enough time for photography, walking, and simply taking in the mood of the location. This tour is perfect for curious travelers, history lovers, and anyone fascinated by abandoned places — but also for people who want a meaningful and unique experience during their holiday.

Because every Varosha Sightseeing Tour is private, we keep the pace flexible. If you want more time at certain points for photos or quiet observation, we adjust the timing to your style.

• To complete your experience, don’t forget to browse our Gallery for real impressions — and if you enjoy learning deeper background stories, our Infothek offers valuable insight into the history of Cyprus, the Green Line and Northern Cyprus.
