Included Famagusta and Salamis day trip

Today's included excursion introduces you to nearby fascinating Famagusta. The city was once one of the world's richest and today is somewhat of a living museum. Explore its ruined churches, former-cathedral-turned-mosque, and Venetian Palace lying amid modern cafés and shops. You'll also take in the extraordinary Roman ruins of the ancient coastal city of Salamis, with its colonnades, magnificent theatre and bathhouse, which was once part of a much larger settlement, a lot of which is now submerged under the sea.

Included Kantara Castle excursion

After a relaxing morning, set out for a tour of historic Kantara Castle this afternoon. Located around 1800ft above sea level in the Kyrenia Mountains, Kantara Castle is one of several castles in the area that formed a defensive perimeter protecting Cyprus’ northern shores from invaders. Thanks to its unique vantage point, Kantara was used to pass messages to the other castles. The castle’s date of construction is unknown, but there are clear Byzantine and Frankish architectural elements. Your knowledgeable local guide will bring the castle’s fascinating history to life, including the story of when it was taken by Richard the Lionheart in 1191.

New Year's Eve - Optional Nicosia city tour

Rest and relax at the hotel or join today’s optional excursion to historic Nicosia, island capital for more than 12 centuries and separated into a Turkish north and Greek south since the Green Line was first drawn, in 1963.

New Year's Day - Day at leisure

Spend your first full day relaxing and enjoying your hotel facilities as you build up to New Year’s Eve celebrations, which are accompanied by live music.

Optional Kyrenia city tour and Bellapais

Today’s tour begins with a visit to the mountain-top castle of St Hilarion and beautiful village of Bellapais – home to the preserved ruins of a Gothic abbey. This idyllic spot was home for three years to celebrated writer Lawrence Durrell, who chronicled his stay here in his novel Bitter Lemons. Wander the ruins of the abbey, stepping back in time, before heading to Kyrenia with its picturesque horseshoe-shaped harbour.

Optional Karpas Peninsula tour

Your final optional excursion gives you the chance to explore the unspoilt Karpas Peninsula, a rugged spit of land fringed by some of the island's bluest waters, dotted with old villages and home to herds of wild donkeys, and the remote Apostolos Andreas monastery, which is famous for its holy well. You’ll also visit an olive oil producer and (weather permitting) Golden Beach.

Fly back to the UK

Bid farewell to your Cypriot hosts and transfer back to the airport for your return flight.
