Why you’ll love this…
  • Combine a 4X4 tour with a boat trip
  • Famagusta in the north of Cyprus
  • Four-hour boat trip with swimming and snorkelling
What to expect

Unlock all the secrets of Cyprus by both land and sea. By road, you'll visit two of the island's most intriguing spots – the old town of Famagusta and the ‘ghost town' of Varosha. Then, by sea, there's time to chill out on a relaxing cruise to the Blue Lagoon.

Travelling in an off-road vehicle, your first pit stop is the Famagusta Culture Centre to understand the history of the island. Then, you'll pass through the UN buffer zone to the northern part of the island – pass by Varosha, once a popular beach resort.

Afterwards, you'll head to Famagusta old town, where you can explore the Venetian city walls, its collection of church ruins, or the Gothic cathedral turned mosque. Finally, you'll trade exploration for relaxation with a boat cruise to the Blue Lagoon, where there's lunch on board and plenty of time to swim, snorkel or sunbathe.

    Vores guide i Varosha, George Michael, var fantastisk, han ved en masse om Cyperns historie og kultur og taler rigtig godt engelsk. Vi nød den smukke natur, da vi tog ud med båd, det var ikke overfyldt, men desværre nåede vi ikke at se de berømte skildpadder. Folkene på båden havde snorkeludstyr, men det var lidt slidt, så det er bedre at have sit eget. Redningsveste bør vaskes oftere, mange lugtede forfærdeligt af sved. Men alt i alt var det en interessant oplevelse, og vi nød det.

    Spændende fortælling om Famagusta og en utrolig velinformeret guide. En dejlig bådtur med god mad. Der burde have været drikkevarer tilgængelig under transporten i bilen og bedre plads.

    Guiden var bra! Dock var båtresan, som vi inte ens genomförde bedrövlig. Vi gick på båten, där fanns inga sittplatser. Alldeles för mycket folk! Vi valde att gå av båten innan den avgick pga detta. Vi gick till fots tillbaka till hotellet. Vi gillade utflykten till famagusta, den var lärorik. Båtresan fruktansvärd!

    God guidet tur på engelsk. Guiden fortalte en masse om byen og den historie, så man fik en fornemmelse af, hvad man mødte på sin tur. Super fin bådtur med to svømmestop. Vi oplevede skildpadder på første stop. En dejlig tur der kan anbefales

    Guiden på Jeepturen var fantastisk, han var fortællende, gode informationer, betænksom og var bare rigtig rar at være i selskab med. Til bådturen gav han os forslag til hvor vi kunne sidde hvis vi ville være i sol/ skygge. Guiden på båden tale først engelsk, men den primære guide tale polsk. Der blev sagt meget på polsk, som ikke blev sagt på engelsk, hvilket trækker denne bedømmelse ned. Og så det høje musik til slut på turen, der er 5 der danser til to sange og de er presset til at det.

Ancient Kourion tour with Paphos Harbour visit

Cyprus is home to some hugely important ancient Greek and Roman sites. On this tour, you'll take in Aphrodite's Rock, ancient Paphos and the Tombs of the Kings, visit Kourion – and enjoy free time in the Paphos harbour area. Andreas, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The Tombs of the Kings offer us a valuable insight into ancient Mediterranean culture. There are very similar tombs in Alexandria, demonstrating the strong ties between the two cities in ancient times.'After a coffee pit-stop along the way, you'll stop by Kourion archaeological site to see landmarks such as the theatre – dating from the 2nd century BC – and the Agora. En route to Paphos, there's a photo stop at Petra tou Romiou – or Aphrodite's Rock – where, legend has it, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty emerged from the sea foam. Andreas says, ‘At Kourion, you see the ruined house of Eustolios and find out what life was like here before the city was destroyed by an earthquake in the 4th century.'Next, we'll head to ancient Paphos for a guided visit of the Tombs of the Kings, the House of Dionysos and its well-preserved mosaics. Andreas says, ‘The rock-hewn Tombs of the Kings were not actually intended for royalty, but instead the aristocracy and island governors were laid to rest here. The name reflects the sheer grandeur of the necropolis.' Later, you'll enjoy some free time to shop and wander around Paphos Harbour. Maybe you can stroll along the waterfront or grab a bite to eat at one of the many terrace cafés.

Next, you'll head to the 12th-century Macharias Monastery, which is located on a remote hillside. Its lavishly decorated interior houses a sacred icon of the Virgin Mary.Then, it's time for a traditional Cypriot lunch, prepared with locally sourced ingredients and served at a family-run restaurant on the way to Lefkara. The tour ends on a high in charming Lefkara, a village famed for its handmade lace and embroidery. ‘Women, young and old, can be seen seated outside their homes and shops making lace,' says Stavroula. ‘For hundreds of years, the men from the village have travelled all over Europe to sell it, even Leonardo da Vinci bought some.'

Caledonia Waterfalls full-day tour with local guide and lunch

Trade the beach for the cool, shaded vibes of the Troodos Mountains – where nature's about to blow your mind. We're talking a three-kilometre hike, leading you to Caledonia Falls, one of Cyprus's tallest and most beautiful waterfalls, before heading to the village of Platres for a tasty, traditional lunch. Andi, one of our expert local guides, says, "You'll love the hike as much as the destination – it's like stepping into a fairytale, with cute little bridges crisscrossing along the stream all the way to the waterfall." But first, you'll kick things off at Kolossi Fruit Garden. Think juicy fruit and zesty lemonade to get you prepped for the adventure ahead. As you wind through the forest, the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream keeps you company – it's the perfect backdrop for those Insta-gold pics, almost like the Greek Gods are keeping tabs on you. You'll delve deeper along the forest nature tail, among old pines and strawberry trees, until reaching the showstopper – Caldonia Falls. Here, you can dip your toes in the shaded freshwater pool, snap some pics, and soak up the magic. The falls were named by a Scottish expedition in 1878, who were so wowed by how much it reminded them of home, they named it after Caledonia, the Roman name for Scotland. Afterwards, you'll head to Psilo Dendro, in Platres, for a well-deserved lunch. With its own trout farm, the fish here is as fresh as it gets – the perfect way to wrap up your mountain adventure.
