Kyrenia & Famagusta Day Tour by Bus: North Cyprus Unlocked
Have you ever wanted to travel through time but without a sci-fi budget?
Then hop on this unforgettable day tour to the other side of Cyprus, where medieval charm, ghost towns, and postcard-perfect harbors come together most fascinatingly.
Starting from sunny Ayia Napa, this bus trip is your all-access pass to history, beauty, and mystery — all rolled into one spectacular adventure.
Why This Tour is a Must
Northern Cyprus is like the island’s secret diary—full of untold stories, ancient architecture, and drama dating back thousands of years.
This tour isn’t just a bus ride; it’s a journey into a region that feels frozen in time. You’ll explore bustling old towns, serene abbeys, and a literal ghost town that’s both eerie and incredible.
It’s history, mystery, and Mediterranean beauty — with a side of kebab (lunch not included, but highly recommended).
Payment and Booking
You will pay only a tiny part of the amount through PayPal (a deposit) at the time of payment.
That way, we can reserve a spot for you on the tour and ensure your place is guaranteed.
You will pay the remaining balance (the tour cost) to the driver/guide (in cash) at the beginning of the tour.
First Stop: Famagusta Old Town – Sand, Stones & Stories
Our first wander-worthy destination is Famagusta, where the beach is lined with golden sand and ancient Venetian walls surround the city.
You’ll have free time to stroll through cobbled streets, snap selfies by the Gothic Church of Saint Nicholas, or grab a coffee with a view.
It’s like walking through a medieval postcard.
Bellapais Abbey – Monks Had It Good
Next, we twist and turn through the jaw-dropping Pentadaktylos Mountains to reach Bellapais Abbey.
Gothic architecture? Check. Sweeping coastal views? Double check. Peaceful vibes that’ll make you forget your inbox exists? Oh yes.
The White Canons built it in the 13th century, and the monks, let’s say, knew how to pick real estate.
Kyrenia: Harbor Vibes and 3,000 Years of History
We roll into Kerynia (aka Kyrenia), one of the most photogenic harbors you’ll ever see.
You’ll have plenty of time for lunch (not included, but trust me, you’ll want to eat everything), stroll along the charming waterfront, or visit the Kyrenia Castle, home to one of the oldest shipwrecks ever discovered.
Pirates not included.
The Ghost Town of Varosha – Frozen Since 1974
On the way back, we drive by the hauntingly silent Varosha — a once-thriving resort town sealed off since 1974.
It’s a decisive moment that feels like standing still in time. Cameras were ready, and jaws dropped.
