Famagusta bears the scars of history. In 1974, Turkish troops seized the city, dividing Cyprus into Greek and Turkish zones — the latest act in a millennia-long tussle over the fate of the island, which has been controlled by the Romans, Greeks, Venetians, Ottomans and the British. Today's visitors will be rewarded with an inside perspective on the city at the heart of the Cypriot conflict.

Take a Famagusta private tour and explore eastern Cyprus with a local guide.

In the 15th century, Venetian merchants funded a church-building boom, but when the Ottomans seized Famagusta a century later, they converted the churches into Muslim houses of prayer. Your guide will point out alterations made to St. Nicholas Cathedral, now the Lala Mustafa mosque. Head to Salamis to see the island's Roman heritage, with still-standing columns and an impressive amphitheatre.

Adventurous visitors should explore the Karpaz peninsula on a private tour, stopping at sandy beaches to watch nesting turtles.
