Ce qui vous attend

Cette visite de la partie nord de Chypre passe par plusieurs périodes de l'histoire : antique, médiévale et des années 1970. Les vedettes de cette journée sont les vestiges de la cité classique de Salamine, de la vieille ville de Famagouste, ainsi que la "ville fantôme" de Varosha. Stavroula, l'une de nos guides locales expertes, dit : "La région de Famagouste est riche en trésors de l'Antiquité, du Moyen Âge et au-delà. Selon la légende locale, les gens de l'époque médiévale étaient si riches qu'ils ont construit 365 églises pour louer Dieu chaque jour, le remerciant pour leur mode de vie aisé et leur abondance."

Votre aventure commence à Salamine, une ville fondée à l'époque classique et la capitale de Chypre pendant plus de mille ans. Vous explorerez les anciennes routes et les temples en ruine jadis peuplés et animés de cette métropole. L'amphithéâtre partiellement restauré est un incontournable, car il donne un aperçu du passé à son apogée, avec des spectacles et des événements. Vous continuerez au monastère datant du 5e siècle de Saint-Barnabé avec son musée d'icônes, dont certaines remontent à la période byzantine.

Vous continuez avec une courte promenade guidée dans l'ancienne ville balnéaire de Varosha, où le temps s'est arrêté depuis des décennies. Cette station balnéaire autrefois populaire est abandonnée depuis près de 50 ans. Après du temps libre pourmanger le midi, vous terminez par Famagouste, une ville qui était jadis l'une des plus riches de la Méditerranée. Votre guide vous montrera des sites tels que le château vénitien et la cathédrale gothique devenue mosquée.

Caledonia Waterfalls full-day tour with local guide and lunch

Trade the beach for the cool, shaded vibes of the Troodos Mountains – where nature's about to blow your mind. We're talking a three-kilometre hike, leading you to Caledonia Falls, one of Cyprus's tallest and most beautiful waterfalls, before heading to the village of Platres for a tasty, traditional lunch. Andi, one of our expert local guides, says, "You'll love the hike as much as the destination – it's like stepping into a fairytale, with cute little bridges crisscrossing along the stream all the way to the waterfall." But first, you'll kick things off at Kolossi Fruit Garden. Think juicy fruit and zesty lemonade to get you prepped for the adventure ahead. As you wind through the forest, the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream keeps you company – it's the perfect backdrop for those Insta-gold pics, almost like the Greek Gods are keeping tabs on you. You'll delve deeper along the forest nature tail, among old pines and strawberry trees, until reaching the showstopper – Caldonia Falls. Here, you can dip your toes in the shaded freshwater pool, snap some pics, and soak up the magic. The falls were named by a Scottish expedition in 1878, who were so wowed by how much it reminded them of home, they named it after Caledonia, the Roman name for Scotland. Afterwards, you'll head to Psilo Dendro, in Platres, for a well-deserved lunch. With its own trout farm, the fish here is as fresh as it gets – the perfect way to wrap up your mountain adventure.

Full-day guided tour of Fikardou, Machairas and Lefkara

You'll leave no stone unturned as you explore Cyprus's hidden corners. This exclusive excursion takes in remote highland villages, dramatic landscapes and a revered monastery. It also includes a traditional Cypriot lunch. Stavroula, one of our local guides on this tour, says, ‘Fikardou village is an excellent example of rural mountain life, where the 19th-century architecture is in complete harmony with the environment.' A real taste of what's to come.Heading inland, you'll arrive mid-morning at rustic and laidback Fikardou. All cobblestones and historic houses, time seems to have frozen here. And with free time to explore, you'll find that ancient traditions still hold their way. It's so well-preserved that it's on UNESCO's tentative list of world heritage sites. Next, you'll head to the 12th-century Macharias Monastery, which is located on a remote hillside. Its lavishly decorated interior houses a sacred icon of the Virgin Mary.Then, it's time for a traditional Cypriot lunch, prepared with locally sourced ingredients and served at a family-run restaurant on the way to Lefkara. The tour ends on a high in charming Lefkara, a village famed for its handmade lace and embroidery. ‘Women, young and old, can be seen seated outside their homes and shops making lace,' says Stavroula. ‘For hundreds of years, the men from the village have travelled all over Europe to sell it, even Leonardo da Vinci bought some.'

Botanical park visit for families with soap-making class

You and the family are in for a wholesome morning at CY Herbia Botanical Park. The gardens here are a world away from the hubbub of Ayia Napa, with acres of woodland and gardens, as well as a maze to roam and connect with nature. There's a big focus here on natural products like oils, soaps and teas – all made from plants grown in their nine herb gardens that you'll get to visit. You'll start with a guided tour of the park's gardens, including a fun scavenger hunt to get the kids running around and exploring. Then, it's on to the distillation room, where you'll get a quick lesson on the power and benefits of herbs and essential oils – remember to breathe in deeply for the full aromatic experience. There's time to relax in the café with an iced herbal tea and a piece of cake before you unleash your creativity at a soap-making workshop. This one is perfect for the kids, so if they're confident to give this a go by themselves, you can take a moment to browse the lavender shop next door. Once your soapy masterpieces are finished, you'll have some free time to get lost in the maze and take another look around the gardens before heading back to your hotel.
