A pleasant and much-loved trip to two of the island's most popular cities. The fascinating history of old and modern Cyprus will make your holiday even more colorful.
We will lead the way to Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque a historic Islamic shrine located in Larnaca, Cyprus. It is one of the most important religious sites in Cyprus and is considered to be the third most important holy site in the world for Muslims after Mecca and Medina. The mosque is dedicated to Umm Haram, the wife of the Prophet Mohammed's uncle, who died during a visit to Cyprus in the 7th century.
Another milestone of our tour is Larnaca's Salt Lake. For many centuries, the lake was a source of salt. "White gold" has a positive impact on the economy of Cyprus. Now the lake is a natural attraction.
A walk along the coast will refresh you and leave a wonderful impression of the picturesque view. The famous Church of St. Lazarus of the 9th century is known throughout the Christian world. The temple attracts pilgrims from different countries. Many healings and other miracles were performed here, thanks to the fragments of the relics of Saint Lazarus.
Our next stop will be in Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, which is divided in two parts. You will have time to walk along the famous Ledra Street and cross the "Green Line" and visit the Northern part of Nicosia.
Our tour is an excellent way to explore the rich history and cultural landmarks of Cyprus. It's a perfect excursion for those who want to learn about the island's diverse history and see some of its most beautiful sights.

Exploring the rich history of Cyprus through Paphos, Nicosia, and Larnaca was a fantastic adventure for our family. The transportation was comfortable, and our guide shared fascinating stories that made the journey engaging for everyone. We loved visiting the historical sites, especially the vibrant streets of Nicosia, which felt alive with history. However, we did find some of the time allocated for each location a bit tight, leaving us craving more exploration. Overall, it was a wonderful way to spend the day, immersing ourselves in the culture and sights of Cyprus.

Our group had an unforgettable journey through Paphos, where we marveled at the intricate mosaics of the House of Dionysus, each telling stories of Cyprus’ vibrant past. The highlight was definitely wandering the charming streets of Nicosia, where the mix of cultures brought the history alive in a truly immersive way. While we loved the adventure, the itinerary felt a bit rushed at times, leaving us wanting to linger longer in Larnaca’s serene waterfront.

From the moment I hopped on the bus, I was whisked away on an adventure that felt like a deep dive into a tapestry of stories and sights. Each stop along the way revealed layers of history, from ancient ruins to charming streets filled with local life, all of which made the journey feel incredibly enriching. I particularly loved wandering through the vibrant marketplace, where the aromas of spices and fresh produce enveloped me, bringing a sense of connection to the local culture.
However, the pacing felt a bit rushed during a couple of stops, leaving me wishing I could soak in the atmosphere for a little longer. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing anecdotes that brought the sites to life, but there were moments when I felt overwhelmed with information. Overall, this experience offered an engaging glimpse into a land steeped in history, making it a worthwhile addition to any travel itinerary.
