Limassol: Private Tour Famagusta, Salamis and Ghost Town

Discover Cyprus on this private tour from Limassol as you journey to the legendary ancient city of Salamis, once the island’s largest metropolis. Wander through evocative ruins that echo with tales from Homer’s Iliad, and imagine life in this once-thriving center of Mediterranean civilization.

Your adventure continues in the historic port city of Famagusta on Cyprus’ east coast. As you stroll through its atmospheric Old Town, you’ll uncover centuries of fascinating heritage, from medieval architecture to stories of conquest and culture that have shaped the city’s unique identity.

Visit the iconic Othello Castle, a striking 14th-century fortress built by the Lusignan dynasty and famously linked to Shakespeare’s play. Marvel at the impressive Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, whose Gothic arches and elegant spires reveal French inspiration, before its transformation into a mosque during Ottoman rule.

Take a walk atop Famagusta’s ancient city walls for breathtaking panoramic views of the town below and the shimmering Mediterranean beyond. The tour concludes with a visit to the eerie Varosha district, the “ghost town” whose abandoned streets stand as a poignant reminder of Cyprus’ turbulent past.
