Step into the northern part of Cyprus and learn about the island's past with this guided tour. Your day begins in Nicosia's walled old town, where centuries of history are plastered all over the place. You'll explore Laiki Geitonia, with its traditional buildings and narrow streets, before continuing on to the harbour town of Kyrenia. You'll find one of the world's oldest shipwrecks, the Kyrenia ship, found in 1965 off the coast of Cyprus. You'll have time to explore at your own pace, too, before heading to the hillside Bellapais Abbey, where the coastal views are best in class.
