What you can expect

  • The only Authentic Famagusta Experience from Ayia Napa & Protaras.
    Discover Famagusta through the eyes of someone who once called it home.
    This 3 Trips in 1 Day Tour takes you beyond ordinary sightseeing and into the living history of Cyprus. Accompanied by Mr John — who was born and raised in Famagusta before 1974 — you will explore the Dividing Line, walk through the reopened streets of Varosha, and uncover the rich medieval heritage of Famagusta’s Old City.

    Your journey begins with hotel pickup from Ayia Napa or Protaras before crossing the official checkpoint into the northern part of the island. Along the way, Mr John shares personal memories of his childhood, the events that changed the city forever, and what it means to return decades later.
    In Varosha, once one of the Mediterranean’s most glamorous resorts, you will walk through streets that stood frozen in time for nearly 50 years. This is not just a historical explanation — it is a deeply personal return to areas, homes, and memories.

    Adding to the uniqueness of the experience, a Turkish Cypriot guide from that era also joins the tour, offering insight from the other side. The result is a rare and balanced perspective that allows visitors to understand the human storey behind the headlines.

    The tour continues inside the historic walled city of Famagusta, where Venetian walls, Gothic architecture, and centuries of layered civilisations reveal the island’s rich past. With guided explanations and free time to explore, you will experience culture, history, and personal storytelling in one unforgettable day.
    This is more than a tour.

    It is memory, history, and reconciliation — experienced together.
