Beskrivning

Denna heldagstur till den norra delen av Cypern tar dig till tre av territoriets mest spännande platser. Du kommer att upptäcka den antika staden Salamis, den gamla staden Famagusta och "spökstaden" Varosha. Elpida, en av våra lokalguider, säger: "Norra Cypern är en plats som ligger stilla i tiden. Vi kan till och med peka ut datumet – 1974. Och resultatet är en potpurri av oavslutade hotell, halvförstörda kyrkor och magra minareter.'

Din resa in i det förflutna börjar ända tillbaka i klassisk tid vid Salamis. Du kommer att utforska dess ruinerade tempel, den delvis restaurerade teatern och mer. Stavroula, en annan av våra lokalguider, säger: "Inte bara är Salamis genomsyrad av antika myter, utan den helige Barnabas, som förde kristendomen till Cypern under det första århundradet, är begravd i ett närliggande kloster."

Efter ledig tid för lunch besöker du Famagusta, vars gamla stad fortfarande är skyddad av intakta försvarsmurar som byggdes för venetianarna för århundraden sedan. Din guide kommer att visa dig sevärdheter som slottet och den gotiska katedralen som förvandlades till moskén. Elpida säger: ”Framför huvudentrén står ett fikonträd som planterades av korsfararna som byggde katedralen – så det är den äldsta levande varelsen i Famagusta.” För att avsluta besöket finns det en vandringstur i ”spökstaden”. ' av Varosha. Denna en gång populära badort har legat övergiven sedan 50 år. Det är en overklig upplevelse att gå på igenväxta gator med sönderfallande fasader med rostiga luckor och krossade fönster.

This small group, adults-only tour takes you into the spiritual heart of the highlands, the Kykkos Monastery, as well as the hilltop tomb of Makarios III.

Then it's on to the star of the show, the beautiful Kykkos Monastery, perched on top Mount Kykkos. The interior is richly decorated, and you won't be able to keep your eyes off the icons and frescoes. You'll hear the legend of why its most famous icon, ‘the Golden Girl', remains half-hidden. And you'll also have some free time to wander around the grounds and enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains.We'll then visit Throni Hill and the elaborate tomb of Archbishop Makarios III.

Troodos Mountains Tour with Kykkos Monastery and Lunch

The journey into the Troodos Mountains is a journey to another Cyprus. Rustic stone villages dot tree-clad valleys where traditional ways of life still hold sway. This tour takes you into the spiritual heart of the highlands, the Kykkos Monastery, as well as up to Throni Hill.

You'll head to the Kykkos Monastery first.

What's more, your visit helps the preservation of this important heritage site.We'll then visit the hilltop tomb of Archbishop Makarios III.

Evening Drink at Aphrodite's Rock & Folk Dinner

Tasty meze, music and dancing – this trip has all the ingredients for a right old Cypriot night. And if that wasn't enough, it all comes after a drink overlooking Aphrodite's Rock – birthplace of the mythical goddess of love. Alexia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘At the taverna, you'll get together with the locals and feel their culture and dance. Nothing is better than the 100% authentic cuisine cooked by the women of the village, just like they cook at home.' Join us for a knees-up to remember in one of the area's most popular tavernas.We'll kick off with a short drive towards Petra tou Romiou – as Aphrodite's Rock is known locally. Clink glasses at this mythical sea stack and enjoy the evening light while sipping on a sparkling wine. ‘A celebration in honour of the goddess,' as Alexia says. You'll then head to the village of Kouklia, a short drive inland from the coast, for a Cypriot dinner with a difference.A first sight, it's a typical family-run taverna. You'll get to savour just about every Cypriot dish you could possibly wish for. The emphasis is on pure ingredients and traditional meze – cooked the way they've been for generations – washed down with local wines. But on summer evenings, the family takes over the street, hosting feasts of folkloric music and dancing. Let your hair down and join the locals with some boogying and shaking on the outdoor terrace. As nights out go, it's a showstopper.

Caledonia Waterfalls Tour with Lunch
Activities

Caledonia Waterfalls Tour with Lunch

The lush, cool forest that carpets the Troodos Mountains is an ideal escape near Paphos. A perfect contrast to the beach, you'll journey along a scenic route into the hills, where your destination is the village of Platres. Here, you'll set off on a 3km hike along the stream to the Caledonia Falls, followed by a traditional lunch at Psilo Dendro restaurant. Andri, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll enjoy the journey as much as the destination on this hike, which follows and criss-crosses a stream over a series of little bridges all the way to the waterfall.'We'll get the tour started on a refreshing note with a stop at Kolossi Fruit Garden. Here you'll have the chance to try some fresh lemonade and buy fruit before continuing further into the mountains to the pretty hilltop village of Platres. This is the starting point for the nature trail, which traces the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream through the trees. You'll be glad of sturdy footwear as you head along the scenic trail, which is quite uneven in places with some rocks, roots and rivulets to keep it interesting.It's a forest walk in dappled shade, leading through a variety of gnarly trees including pines and strawberry trees. Once you reach the Caledonia Falls, you'll be able to take a break - and have a paddle if you wish - at the shaded freshwater pool, then continue to the famous Psilo Dendro restaurant with its very own trout farm. Relax over lunch – needless to say, trout is a speciality – and end the day on a high.
