Finding Famagusta: (Small Grp) Ghost Town Tour & Wine Tasting - Frm Limassol 8hr

The day will start with two informational spots where we’ll meet locals who will give us interesting accounts of the troubles that sparked the Cyprus divide. You’ll then cross the border into the Turkish-occupied North and explore alongside the fenced-off ghost town stopping on the way for a closer look into the lost city. We’ll continue to the sandy shores of the Famagusta beach where the closed-off area ends to peek at the derelict hotels and empty buildings. Throughout the morning I'll take you to some unique view points which will give you a fantastic look into the ghost town of Varosha. Next we'll make a stop in Famagusta town center where you'll have some free time to explore and see the sites. Here you can see the Saint Nicholas Cathedral (now operating as a mosque) plus more amazing Venetian architecture. After visiting the quaint town center of Famagusta we’ll head back across the border to enjoy an authentic meze lunch – a spread of delicious Cypriot dishes. We’ll end the day with a wine tasting that focuses on the wines and indigenous grape varieties of Cyprus and will include the famous Cyprus Commandaria sweet wine.
