Full description

Cross the UN-patrolled border into northern Cyprus and visit some of the north's most famous historical sites. The first stop of this day trip is Salamis Archaeological Site, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea from Cyprus's east coast. Salamis was the most brilliant ancient city in Cyprus and the capital of the island for more than a thousand years. The archaeological site of Salamis, culture, and history is considered one of the most important not just in Cyprus but also in the Mediterranean Sea. Discover the archaeological site of Salamis as your guide shares with you the rise and fall of this Great Greek Kingdom. The next stop is Famagusta City where you will visit the Latin Cathedral of Saint Nicholas and Othello Tower. Enjoy your free time for lunch or for strolling around in the old town. Before heading back, a short stop at Constantia Beach where you will have the opportunity for a panoramic view of the ghost town of Famagusta. The once-bustling holiday resort was abandoned during the Turkish invasion of 1974 and has remained sealed behind barbed wire barricades ever since.

Die Tour war enttäuschend. Zunächst mussten wir mehrere Mails schreiben, bis wir einen sehr ungenauen Pick up point erhielten. Nach 20 Minuten Verspätung. Die Tourguide Dame sprach sehr gebrochenes Englisch, daher waren Erklärungen zu Aussichtspunkten sehr schwierig zu verstehen. Nach einer Stunde im Bus erwartete uns der erste Stop auf einer Raststätte mit einer Klopause mit über 45 Minuten. Nach insgesamt 4 Stunden im Bus, erreichten wir Salamis, wo wir leider nur 30 Minuten hatten. 20 Minuten davon mussten wir der tourguidein folgen. zeit alleine zu erkunden waren nur 10 Minuten. Danach folgte ein Lunchbreak in famagusta von 2 Stunden. Der nächste stop war dann endlich die Geisterstadt wo wir 20 Minuten Aufenthalt hatten. Auf der Rückreise waren wir auf der selben Raststätte wie zuvor wo wir wieder 30 Minuten verharren mussten. Wenn man die Geisterstadt wirklich entdecken möchte ist dies definitiv nicht die richtige Tour.

Nobody picked up me, nobody call me. I have been waiting on road since 7:30. And nobody is going to give me money back. Shame on you!
