Visit the St. Barnabas Monastery, now a museum preserving early Christian artifacts and the saint’s tomb. Walk through the haunting streets of Varosha Ghost Town, a once-glamorous resort frozen in time since the 1974 division of Cyprus.

Admire the Gothic beauty of the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, originally the 14th-century St. Nicholas Cathedral, renowned for its resemblance to Notre-Dame. Finally, climb the towers of Othello Castle, a medieval fortress guarding the old harbor, for panoramic views of Famagusta and the sea.

Activity itinerary

Salamis
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The ancient ruins of Salamis are among the most prominent archaeological sites in Cyprus. Dating back to the 11th century BC, Salamis was once a thriving city under Greek and Roman rule. Today, visitors can explore remnants of Roman baths, a massive amphitheater, gymnasiums, and colonnaded streets. The area offers an unforgettable look into classical antiquity and the architectural prowess of ancient empires.
St Barnabas Monastery and Icon Museum
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Dedicated to St. Barnabas, the patron saint of Cyprus and an early Christian missionary, this 18th-century monastery now serves as a museum. It houses a collection of Orthodox Christian icons, as well as archaeological artifacts from nearby Salamis. Just behind the monastery is the tomb of St. Barnabas, an important pilgrimage site.
Ghost Town Famagusta
  • 30m
Varosha was once a glamorous resort town in the 1970s, popular with celebrities and international tourists. Following the 1974 division of Cyprus, it was abandoned and fenced off for decades. Recently, parts of Varosha have reopened, allowing visitors to walk among eerie, empty hotels and streets frozen in time.
Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque
  • 30m
Built in the 14th century as a Gothic cathedral, it was converted into a mosque by the Ottomans in 1571. The building resembles the Notre-Dame Cathedral in France with its pointed arches, rose windows, and flying buttresses. It is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Othello Castle
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Named after Shakespeare’s tragic hero, Othello Castle is a medieval fortress originally constructed by the Lusignans and later strengthened by the Venetians. It protected the old harbor of Famagusta and served as a key military stronghold. Visitors can climb the towers for panoramic views of the sea and city.
