Once a thriving holiday resort, Varosha has lain abandoned in the northern part of Cyprus for over 50 years. This open-top bus tour takes you to the heart of this forgotten town, where you'll have around two-hours of free time. Desolate hotels line the beach where you can grab a drink and relax on the sands – it's a real touristic time capsule.

The tour guide Hayley was excellent and very Knowledgeable. The bus broke down on the way there, was resolved in 30 to 40 minutes. Sitting on the open top bus needs a warning, it was so hot and all the waiting caused us to feel unwell, so don't sit up there! When we got to Varosha after 3 hours trip, the beach shop wouldn't allow us to purchase a drink as their system was down. We had to go back to the entrance and stayed there at Goodfellows where we could get a drink and cool down. Awful day!

We were really pleased with the tour. Very interesting. Our guides Hayley and Clive were super nice and knowledgeable about the subject. The history of Varosha is sad but also very interesting and this tour is a must for anyone visiting Cyprus.

Fab day out! Driver was excellent and guide was really good too. Picked up at 8am and back around 3pm so lingering than expected but really enjoyed the bus ride and the experience seeing Varosha. Don’t like full/on guided trips so this was perfect!
