From Paphos: Famagusta, Salamis, and Varosha Walking Tour

Step into the fascinating history of Cyprus with a guided walking tour from Paphos that takes you across the UN buffer zone to explore the wonders of the island’s northern region. Your adventure begins with convenient hotel pickup, followed by a scenic coach ride toward the legendary ancient city of Salamis.

Discover the impressive ruins of Salamis, a Hellenistic city dating back to the 12th century BC. Stroll along the shoreline as your guide brings to life stories of ruined temples, a grand theatre, and a historic gymnasium that once echoed with ancient voices.

Continue your journey to the heart of Famagusta’s Old Town, where you’ll wander within medieval city walls. Marvel at the Venetian Castle, climb Othello’s Tower, and admire the gothic beauty of St. Nicholas Cathedral, all while soaking up the city’s vibrant atmosphere.

The tour culminates with a guided walk through Varosha, the haunting ghost town sealed off since 1974 and only recently reopened to the public. Experience the surreal silence of abandoned hotels and sun-bleached streets, offering a unique glimpse into Cyprus’s modern history.
