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.

We start from Limassol (Lemesos) and visit 3 out of 12 painted Byzantine churches that belong to the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as one painted Byzantine church of the same era which is not listed in the UNESCO List. The churches are the following: Panayia Podithou in Galata (14th century AD), Archangelos in Galata (14th century AD) and Ayios Nikolaos of the Roof at Kakopetria (12th century AD). We have a lunch break in Kakopetria. The churches are fully decorated with frescoes. During the Byzantine period, most people could not read and write, so in order to understand the Bible, churches were decorated with scenes from the Bible. As an educated tourist guide I will give you an overview of the artistic perspective of the frescoes.
-Start from Limassol (Lemesos) -Visit the 2painted churches in Galata -Visit the painted church in Kakopetria -Lunch break in Kakopetria (optional) -Walk in old Kakopetria -Return to our starting venue
