This half-day trip will introduce you to the history of Famagusta. You’ll get the chance to view the abandoned ‘ghost town’ of Varosha, which remains sealed off from the Turkish invasion of 1974. Along the way, your guide will tell you all the facts and tales of the historic port city – once the setting for Shakespeare’s Othello. After a visit to Saint Nicholas Cathedral, you’ll have some free time to wander around the old town, with its Venetian walls, Gothic churches, palm trees and upturned boats. There are plenty of arty shops too, so it’s great for picking up souvenirs. Once you’ve finished exploring, you’ll head to Constantia Beach, where you can take a midday dip overlooking the derelict hotels and homes of Varosha.
