Discover Famagusta Highlights in a full day tour from Nicosia

A fascinating tour in the ruins of Salamis, St Varnavas Monastery & medieval Famagusta. Salamis was the Hellenistic city and the port from where trade was carried out to many ports of the ancient world. It's the living memory of the arrival of the Greeks in Cyprus after the Trojan War: A Greek city par excellence that flourished during antiquity under the Assyrians, the Persians, the Ptolemies and the Romans. Royal Tombs with rich burials as those described by Homer in the Iliad, a Roman theatre, a Gymnasium and baths. Famagusta, the continuation of Salamis, was the key and the heart of Cyprus, the hub of the Mediterranean, the port that merged Middle East and Western Europe. There the spice routes met the silk roads, merchants and pilgrims met Kings and Knights. During the Medieval Age Greeks, French, Armenians, Venetians, Jewish and Arab merchants lived side by side, each in their own quartier, celebrating their own traditions and religion. I grew up in Famagusta so you will share my experience!
