Additional Information

Make your way to the eastern shores of Cyprus, stopping at the historical Port Famagusta. You’ll meander through the heart of the Old Town, drop by the St. Nicholas Gothic Cathedral that draws its inspiration from Notre Dame de Paris. Don’t miss the popular Othello Tower and the entrance to Famagusta, the Venetian gate, and take a leisurely walk along the Venetian walls.

Next, we travel to a gorgeous beach adorned with golden sands and the vibrant blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, where you can enjoy some free time to swim and relax. As we leave Famagusta behind, we set course for the ancient municipality of Salamis.

Legend has it that the establishment of Salamis was by Teucer, a figure highlighted in Homer’s Iliad. In its prime, Salamis boasted the title of being the largest city on the island of Cyprus. As we journey on, we’ll take in the scenic view of the infamous “ghost town” - known as ‘Varosha’, a no-go zone rooted in some of Cyprus’ noteworthy historical occurrences.

Famagusta day trip from Paphos - A word of warning for anyone booking the day trip to Turkish occupied Cyprus through Jet2. This really is a FULL day trip of 12-14 hours so be prepared for a very long day. The trip itself is very informative & visits several sites on the Turkish side. A refreshment/toilet break is included on both the outward & return journeys around the Limassol area at a motorway service area type of place but I'd advise taking some food and drink with you to cover outward & return trips. I'd say it's not really suitable for young kids because of the long day.
