    5.0· 5 reviews· 5 hours

    A scenic half-day tour exploring Famagusta's medieval walls and ghost city, with flexible pickup options and English and Russian guides.

    On my second visit to Cyprus with a friend, exploring Famagusta, Varosha, and Salamis was a priority. Our guide, Natalia, was excellent. She shared extensive knowledge about Cyprus' history and made the long tour enjoyable. I highly recommend her.StefanTellekamp

    5.0· 4 reviews· 8 hours

    Full-day guided tour from Ayia Napa — explore Limassol, stroll Omodos’ cobbled streets, enjoy local lunch, and taste wines at Gerolemos Winery.

    I had a wonderful experience on this trip. It revealed many hidden gems across Cyprus. A special thanks to our guide, Stavroola, who provided valuable insights into the island's history, making the tour more meaningful. I recommend this for those seeking more than just beach time during their visit.Valeria_G
  1. Lazy Day cruise along the coast of Ayia Napa, Ayia Napa4

    4. Lazy Day cruise along the coast of Ayia Napa

    4.9· 1426 reviews· 4.8 hours

    Five-hour boat cruise from 9:30 to 14:30 — swim in Blue Lagoon, turtle cove, and enjoy a roast lunch on board with vegetarian options.

    I was very happy with my decision to enjoy a relaxing half-day cruise. Besides the water being quite cold early in the season, everything was fantastic. While it's not entirely accurate to say you can see the ghost town of Varosha, since it's far away, that's just a small complaint.Beagleheart
  2. Troodos mountain jeep safari from Protaras, Ayia Napa & Larnaca, Ayia Napa5

    5. Troodos mountain jeep safari from Protaras, Ayia Napa & Larnaca

    4.6· 90 reviews· 8 hours

    Full-day 4x4 tour through the Troodos Mountains—traditional villages, swimming at a lagoon, and stops at historic sites included.

    The trip was fantastic and met my expectations. However, I would have preferred to spend less time at Fikardou village—about two hours felt excessive—and more time in Lefkara, where there's more to explore and enjoy. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.PiaA270
  3. Troodos Mountains Jeep Safari from Ayia Napa, Ayia Napa6

    6. Troodos Mountains Jeep Safari from Ayia Napa

    4.4· 187 reviews· 9 hours

    Six to seven hours in a 4x4 Land Rover through Troodos — visit quaint villages, enjoy a traditional Cypriot meze, and stop by a local winery.

    The driver was very helpful, and we had a great time visiting all the fantastic landmarks. However, it's not ideal for those with back problems or if you're uncomfortable with fast driving, as it could get a bit wild at times.Goldie_G
