6.Full Day Tour in Famagusta: The Ghost City

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $541

A full-day private Famagusta Ghost City tour from Larnaca, with Varosha sights, Salamis, St Nicholas Cathedral, and Barnabas Monastery.

“We were fortunate enough to be able to take this tour from Limassol at extra cost. Our driver was very experienced, and although he provided much information, did not act as a guide, so we visited the locations ourselves. Given the venues this was not adverse. All the area is in the Turkish north of Cyprus so passports were necessary, and while there can be very long delays/queues at the border, this was January, so it was quiet. Although memorable it cannot for us be described as enjoyable, since the experience of visiting Varoche (now Maras) the up market area of Famagusta, and its desecration, now decaying after 57 years…”

Michalis spricht nicht nur sehr gut deutsch, er war auch sehr flexibel bezüglich unserer Wünsche, sondern hat auch ein schier unergründliches geschichtliches und kulturelles Wissen. Unsere Tour war super interessant und vielseitig, es kam niemals in den 3 Stunden Langeweile auf, ganz im Gegenteil, wir hatten viel Spaß mit ihm. Michalis ist unbedingt als deutsch und englisch sprachiger Guide zu empfehlen, da er auch mit unserem englischem Gast ohne Probleme kommunizieren konnte. Vielen Dank Michalis für den tollen Tag. Wir kommen gerne wieder auf dich zurück.”
