Dear Visitors, WELCOME TO CYPRUS I come from Famagusta (in Greek Ammochostos) and since the Turkish Invation I live in Nicosia (in Greek Lefkosia). I studied Oceanography at the University of Hamburg (F. R. Germany) but since 2006 I am a freelance licensed tourist guide, guiding in German, English and Greek. If you are visiting Cyprus alone, or along with your family and friends, it will be a pleasure for me to welcome you to my country and show you around the island. Pls have a look at my tour list! If none of them fits your requirements, I can offer you a tailor-made tour. We can walk through Nicosia, the last divided capital in Europe, travel to the medieval Famagusta, or visit together the castles at the Keryneia district, the Pafos Mosaics, the Byzantine Churches in the Troodos mountains, the ruins of Salamis and Kourion, and many other venues. You only need to contact me, giving me 8 days notice and I will organize your tour for you, including transport together with everything that is required. See you soon! Licenced Tourist Guide by CTO In Cyprus it is a Criminal Offence for a guide to drive passengers with a private or a rental car when the guide is driving. The tourists are not covered by insurance. It is ok if a tourist is driving the rental car or we have a driver.

Overview of your Limassol tour

We start from Limassol (Lemesos) and visit the ancient site of Kourion with a Hellenistic theatre, and a villa with mosaics on the floor. The city of Kourion was flourishing during the ancient Greek and Roman Period. It was destroyed by 7 successive earthquakes in the 4th century AD. We also visit the Sanctuary of Apollon Ylatis nearby with the roman baths and the Greek Palaistra (ring). Then we visit the Kolossi Castle, where Richard the Lionheart and the Byzantine Governor of Cyprus Isaakios Kominos signed the subordination agreement for Cyprus. The area of Kolossi is also famous for its Commandaria wine, a sweet wine known as the King of Wines or the Wine of the Kings, first produced by the Knight Templars. We then drive to Ayios Amvrosios where we have wine tasting and lunch at the winery. Our tour is then finished and we come back to our starting venue. Being and educated (and licensed) tourist guide I will give you a deep insight of the rich history of the area.

Marina was a great guide for 6 of us. The archeological sites were well explained and we enjoyed our visits to the Greek city, the Byzantine castle and Apollo temple. Marina was clear and chose her words carefully. Her background in science shone through with her care in answering questions. She took us to a wonderful winery for lunch where we tasted Cypriot varietals I had never tried but they were delicious. The place served a great charcuterie board! Marina and her driver gave us a great day

A must if you are visiting Cyprus, and be sure to get Marina as your guide! I booked this tour when my family went on vacation and it was such a wonderful and delightful day. Marina was very well versed in the history of the sites and very patiently answered all our questions. She really brought to life the history of the Kourion, the Sanctuary of Appollon Ylatis and the Kolossi castle. The wine tasting at Zambarta's was also quite the surprise and such a delight! Book this tour! You won't regret it!

Thank you, Marina, what a fantastic day! There is so much to see in Limassol and the surrounding area--from a temple to Apollo to a castle built by the Crusaders. After visiting historic sites, Marina knew the perfect place in the harbour for lunch where we enjoyed fresh fish (delicious!). She said the restaurant has been there since she was a little girl. If you take this tour, tell her to take you there!!
