Famagusta Walled City

We commence by seeing Famagusta as we see it today; an abandoned Ghost Town. After crossing the border we will drive along the fence which surrounds this once glamorous city, before arriving on its renowned sandy beach where we view the deserted hotels up close along its coast. We then continue by circling the moat of the gothic city where the castle walls tower over us and finally enter inside and tour the city within the walls where 365 churches and cathedrals which once stood witness to centuries of history gone by. Free time will be given to walk around the city to explore things further or sit back and enjoy a coffee and their famous sweets.

Highly recommend the tour. It was sad & frustrating to see a beautiful town left that way. It’s a great loss’s to society. No one is a winner here.
Interesting round trip to the Turkish side.

Very interesting round trip. The driver was attentive and humorous. He had good dealings with the police on both sides of the demarcation line.
