Gathering early in the morning at Eleftherios Venizelos Airport for the Four-Day Cyprus Tour, delivery of our luggage and boarding our flight to Cyprus, specifically Larnaca. Arrival, boarding the coach and we start for one of the most popular tourist and beach resorts of Cyprus with large and luxurious hotels, beautiful beaches, restaurants on the sea and of course, important historical sights as well as the medieval castle – a monument of the city which is included in the world cultural heritage of Unesco. Walking in Kato Paphos is like walking in a museum, with different eras and cultures composing an atmospheric collage. We will walk along the beach, then to the castle and then to the archaeological park with the Roman mansions and the unique mosaics. Afterwards we will have time to swim since the weather in Cyprus is still warm, coffee and food and in the late afternoon we will depart for Limassol, the "capital" of the Cypriot summer and the largest port of the island. In essence, Limassol is a well-organized tourist center, which is constantly renewed and today has developed into a popular holiday center for both local and incoming tourism. The length of the beach of Limassol which reaches 15 km, many walking spots, cycle paths, organized beaches, small and large hotels, restaurants and cafes make up its image. We will visit the Medieval Castle of Limassol, in the heart of the old town, above the old port where today the Medieval Museum of Cyprus is housed. According to tradition, here he married the 1191 Richard the Lionheart crowned Berengaria of Navarre as Queen of England. End, arrival at our central and seaside accommodation hotel, arrangement in the rooms and rest. Our evening free for an individual walk around the city. Dinner at the hotel and overnight stay.
Breakfast and departure for the capital, the commercial, business and administrative center of the island, Nicosia. It is a city where today the European and the Oriental elements coexist harmoniously. Busy streets but also small pedestrianized alleys, cafes and bistros, commercial stores, τα πέτρινα ενετικά τείχη που περικλείουν την παλιά πόλη, μιναρέδες και μικρά μαγαζάκια με σουβενίρ απαρτίζουν την ταυτότητα της Λευκωσίας. We will start our acquaintance with the Tomb of Makedonitissa Military cemetery and hero near the monastery of Makedonitissa. Officers and soldiers are buried here, who fell defending Cyprus during the invasion of the Turkish troops 1974. We continue with the Prison Tombs in the Nicosia Central Prisons, in which they had been buried during the Liberation War 1955-59 the nine hanged by the English. To the right of the entrance are the tombs of the heroes and to the left the cells of the dead and the gallows on which the English executed the nine heroes. We continue with the palace of the archdiocese and a visit to the holy church of Agios Ioannis with the wonderful frescoes. Then we will see the Venetian walls of old Nicosia, the People's Neighborhood and the green line that divides Nicosia into Greek and Turkish sectors. Free time for lunch and shopping at our disposal and departure for our return to our hotel for rest, dinner and overnight stay.
Breakfast and today our day is dedicated to rest. We can relax at the hotel, to enjoy the sea and our walk on the busy coastal road with the cafes, restaurants and tourist resorts. Alternatively, we can follow our optional excursion to the beauties of mountainous Cyprus. Going up towards the mountains, we will first meet and visit the Monastery of Trooditissa, 13th century building in a pine wooded area. Ο σημερινός ναός χτίστηκε το 1731 και περιέχει μια ανεκτίμητη εικόνα της Παναγίας, που καλύπτεται από ασημένια φύλλα η οποία ήρθε από τη Μικρά Ασία. Έπειτα σειρά έχει η ιερά μονή Κύκκου. The Kykkos monastery has deservedly earned the reputation of the most glorious monastery of the island and is dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin. Μέρος της μονής και αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι αποτελεί το μουσείο της που στεγάζει μια ανεκτίμητη συλλογή από εικόνες, ιερά σκεύη, ξυλόγλυπτα, άμφια, κεντήματα, και σπάνια εκκλησιαστικά χειρόγραφα. It is worth noting that the first president of the Republic of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, he served here as a novice. Τέλος μετά την ευλογία των δύο μονών θα καταλήξουμε στο ορεινό χωριό Όμοδος, 42 χιλιόμετρα βορειοδυτικά της πόλης της Λεμεσού. Here, noon now, θα έχουμε ελεύθερο χρόνο για παραδοσιακό προαιρετικό φαγητό. In the afternoon return to our hotel and rest. Our evening free, buffet dinner and overnight stay.
Buffet breakfast and departure for our excursion to sea-loving Famagusta. Our first stop is Deryneia, in the arms of the gulf of Famagusta, in the area of Kokkinohoria. Η φημισμένη για τα ζουμερά και γλυκά φρούτα της η Δερύνεια μας περιμένει να την εξερευνήσουμε. Θα δούμε το μνημείο πεσόντων και αγνοουμένων, θα πάμε στο πολιτιστικό κέντρο και θα ανεβούμε στην οροφή του κτηρίου όπου με κιάλια μπορούμε να δούμε την κατεχόμενη περιοχή και την πόλη της Αμμοχώστου. We will not fail to pass by the Folklore Museum and the Folk Art Museum. We continue to Varosia. In the 70s, Famagusta and specifically Varosia was the most popular tourist destination in Cyprus. The rich and famous like Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor and Brigitte Bardot enjoyed rest and fun on one of the best beaches in Cyprus. Κάποιοι μάλιστα συνέκριναν τα Βαρώσια με τη Γαλλική Ριβιέρα. Where carelessness once dwelt, the carefree and the sun, now silent buildings, empty streets, barricades and military barricades. We will tour the old town of Famagusta (which in Latin means city buried in the sand) as well as the trendy side of town. The first sensation created by the area, is that everything is left in '74. Ready-made buildings, vegetation that covers everything, erasing the road boundaries & sidewalks, and emerging through buildings, είναι μερικά μόνο από τα στοιχεία τα οποία συνθέτουν το περιφραγμένο τμήμα της Αμμοχώστου αυτήν τη στιγμή. In the devastation caused by the Turkish invasion and the organized looting that followed, this year has also been added, worsening the situation. Often, this part of Famagusta is described by the terms "ghost town" or "dead town". We will see the infamous Walls of Famagusta and we will walk inside them having the opportunity to see a multitude of Byzantine and other monuments of the occupied city. Χρόνος για φαγητό και έπειτα μετά τις συγκλονιστικές εικόνες από την ιδιαίτερη αυτή εκδρομή θα αναχωρήσουμε για την Λάρνακα για να επισκεφθούμε ένα από τα ωραιότερα δείγματα της Βυζαντινής αρχιτεκτονικής στην Κύπρο, τον μεγαλοπρεπή ναό του Αγίου Λαζάρου, κτίσμα του αυτοκράτορα Λέοντα ΣΤ τον 9ο αιώνα. Αφού θαυμάσουμε τις υπέροχες τοιχογραφίες και αποδώσουμε χάρη στον τάφο του Αγίου ο οποίος βρίσκεται κάτω από την Αγία Τράπεζα, θα συνεχίσουμε την πορεία για την παραλία των Φοινικούδων, a beautiful area that reaches to the marina of Larnaca. This is the most secular part of the city with cafes, μπαράκια και εστιατόρια. Χρόνος για περίπατο και να απολαύσουμε τον τελευταίο μας καφέ στο νησί πριν μεταβούμε στο αεροδρόμιο της Λάρνακας όπου θα επιβιβαστούμε στην πτήση της επιστροφής μας στην Αθήνα.
