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) & visit Petra tou Romiou (the place where Aphrodite has been born). A place with a fascinating view, where I will tell you all Aphrodite's myths, the Goddess of beauty and love. We then visit the Byzantine church of Ayia Paraskevi in Yeroskipou with wall paintings (frescoes) of the 9th to the 12th centuries A. D. During the Byzantine period, most people could not read and write, & in order to understand the Bible churches were illustrated with Bible scenes, making them more attractive. We then visit the Tombs of the Kings (Necropolis of Pafos 2nd - 3rd c. B. C. , the Hellinistic Period ). Although there were no Kings in Cyprus during this time, the site is called Tombs of the Kings because of the impressive tombs there. Finally we visit the Roman villas with roman mosaics from 2nd to the 4th centuries A. D. & the marina of Pafos with the Byzantine Castle (11th c. AD). As an educated & licensed tourist guide, I will give you a deep insight of the rich history of the area.

Marina couldn't have been more accommodating. Because of bad weather, after seeing 2 castles and learning about life on the coast during the crusades, we cut our plan of going further west short and went inland for a vineyard experience and then, at my request because I found out she lives in/near Nicosia, she drove me there instead of Limasol, then gave me a few hours' tour of Greek NIcosia. Delightful, helpful and flexible. Drove in her own car. Do select a tour from her!

Marina struggled with the English language, but she tried and was able to share the information at each place we visited. She was friendly and helpful, and provided us with a good tour.

Marina had really stacked the day with a lot of very interesting sites. It is almost hard to remember them all. She was also very generous with her time. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Cypress. Especially its religious history, something we really appreciated since we are active Christians. Of the sites we saw we especially liked was the view at Kourion over the theatre and the sea and the perfect preserved floor in a villa of an early Christian. And of course, all the many well-preserved

Marina showed me there is so much more to Limassol than just beautiful hotels and beaches. Loved learning its history. Thank you Marina for making it all so interesting!

Marina was a wonderful guide for us when we visited Cyprus from our cruise ship. She was punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable. She speaks excellent English, and gave us a great overview of the area. We enjoyed every minute of our time with her. She will tailor your itinerary to your wishes, and you will love it. There were six of us on the tour, and we all rated Marina five stars for her enthusiasm and interesting commentaries.
