Ce qui vous attend

Cette visite d'une journée complète dans la partie nord de Chypre vous emmène dans trois des endroits les plus fascinants du territoire. Vous découvrirez l'ancienne cité de Salamine, la vieille ville de Famagouste et la "ville fantôme" de Varosha. Elpida, l'un de nos guides locaux, dit : "Le nord de Chypre est un lieu figé dans le temps. Nous pouvons même en déterminer la date : 1974. Le résultat est un pot-pourri Instagrammable d'hôtels inachevés, d'églises à moitié détruites et de minarets maigres."

Votre voyage dans le passé commence à l'époque classique, à Salamine. Vous explorerez ses temples en ruine, son théâtre partiellement restauré et bien d'autres. Stavroula, une autre de nos guides locaux, explique : "Non seulement Salamis est imprégnée de mythes anciens, mais Saint Barnabé, qui a apporté le christianisme à Chypre au premier siècle, est enterré dans un monastère voisin".

Après un temps libre pour le déjeuner, vous visiterez Famagouste, dont la vieille ville est toujours protégée par des murs défensifs intacts construits par les Vénitiens il y a plusieurs siècles. Votre guide vous montrera des sites tels que le château et la cathédrale gothique devenue mosquée. Selon Elpida, "devant l'entrée principale se trouve un figuier planté par les croisés qui ont construit la cathédrale. C'est la plus vieille chose vivante de Famagouste". La visite s'achève par une promenade dans la "ville fantôme" de Varosha. Cette station balnéaire autrefois populaire est restée abandonnée depuis plus de 50 ans. C'est une expérience surréaliste que de marcher dans les rues envahies par la végétation, avec des façades en ruine, des volets rouillés et des fenêtres cassées.

Ancient Kourion, Kolossi Castle, Omodos & Winery Tour from Limassol

Cyprus is all rolling hills dotted with pretty villages. On this adults-only tour, you'll see where a legend was born, visit the ruins of Kourion, venture to the village of Omodos and cap off the day with a wine tasting. Eva, one of our local guides, says of this excursion, ‘You'll wander through layers of history, culture and mythology.'You'll dive straight into the past at Kourion, one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Cyprus. Visit the Roman baths and amble into the site's centrepiece, the Greco-Roman theatre. Concerts are still held to this day. While the mosaics of the trio of excavated houses known as those of Eustolius, the Gladiators and Achilles are as impressive as when they were laid down. The 15th-century Kolossi Castle is up next. This steeped-in-legend Crusader-built fortress is nowadays surrounded by blooming plants. Then, we'll head for a local lunch in a family-run taverna before visiting mountain-fringed Omodos where you'll wander around skinny cobbled streets lined with Byzantine buildings. It's Eva's favourite village. She says, ‘The charm of the stone houses, the tranquillity and peace. It's as if it has sprung from a fairytale. I love dropping into one of the cafés and seeing locals have philosophical discussions, political arguments and a bit of gossip.' To finish, there's a wine tasting session, where you'll learn all about sweet commandaria wine – one of the oldest varieties in the world.

Blue Lagoon, gorge and beach tour by boat and 4x4 in Akamas

On this trip, you'll explore the Akamas peninsula by land and sea. And, rather than your typical coach set-up, you'll be in a 4x4 vehicle. The area is known for its natural beauty, so you're in for a real treat. Your day begins at Avakas Gorge, perhaps Cyprus' most impressive natural wonder, with a half-hour walk through its deep canyon with sheer walls of limestone that form a natural, narrow tunnel. Other star turns include Lara Beach, where a turtle conservation project has been protecting sea turtles for decades, enjoying lunch not far from Latchi harbour, and then a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon where you can take a dip in water so clear you'll see your toes.
