From Nicosia, Famagusta and Ghost Town Tour

Explore the rich historical legacy of Famagusta and gain insights into contemporary life in Cyprus through its diverse landscapes, including the scenic mountainous terrain and expansive Mesaoria plains. Marvel at the impressive size of the island's largest Roman amphitheater while also immersing yourself in the unique experience of visiting an abandoned ghost town from 1974.

Depart from Nicosia and proceed towards the vicinity of St. Barnabas Monastery and the Icon Museum adjacent to the Royal Tombs. Subsequently, travel to the ancient city of Salamis to witness its impressive Roman amphitheater, which stands out as one of the largest in Cyprus. Make a detour to Othello's Tower, where the renowned playwright William Shakespeare was reportedly inspired to pen his celebrated work.

Engage in an exploration of the historical and architectural marvels by visiting the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Famagusta. Originally designated as St. Nicholas Cathedral, this imposing structure is now adorned in a French Gothic style. Allow yourself ample free time to peruse the quaint streets and immerse yourself in the local atmosphere, whether through shopping or leisurely strolls.

Conclude your journey with a visit to the picturesque village of Famagusta, once a bustling metropolis but now transformed into a serene ghost town, owing to the geopolitical tensions between the two factions in the divided island nation.
