SalamisSalamis served as the capital of Cyprus as far back as 1100 B.C. Located on the eastern coast, it was once a thriving commercial hub offering a vibrant city life to its inhabitants. Throughout its history, it was ruled by dominant powers including the Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, and Romans. During the Roman period, Salamis became the largest city on the island, with a population exceeding 150,000 people. Today, the site offers visitors a magnificent glimpse into the island's past, featuring an impressive Roman theatre, a Gymnasium with thermal baths, and stunning mosaics.
-
Famagusta Walled CityStep back in time as you enter the medieval Walled City of Famagusta, often described as an "open-air museum." Surrounded by massive Venetian fortifications, this historic enclave is home to the stunning Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque (formerly St. Nicholas Cathedral), a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. As you wander through its ancient streets, you will encounter a unique landscape of ruined churches and noble palaces that tell the story of a city that was once the richest in the world.
-
Lala Mustafa Pasha MosqueThe crown jewel of the walled city is the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, originally built in the 14th century as the Gothic Cathedral of St. Nicholas. Often called the "Reims of Cyprus," it is a breathtaking example of French Gothic architecture where Lusignan kings were once crowned. Its transformation into a mosque creates a striking blend of cultures, making it the most significant and visually stunning monument in Famagusta.
-
Ghost Town FamagustaOnce the "Las Vegas of the Mediterranean," Varosha was the island’s premier luxury resort destination until it was abandoned in 1974. Today, it stands as a hauntingly beautiful "ghost town" and a powerful symbol of the island’s recent political history. You will have the rare opportunity to witness this frozen-in-time landscape, where abandoned luxury hotels and silent streets offer a poignant and unforgettable glimpse into the past.
-
Bellapais MonasteryA 13th-century masterpiece of Gothic art, Bellapais Abbey is arguably the most beautiful ruin in the Mediterranean. Perched in the foothills of the Kyrenia Mountains, this "Abbey of Peace" offers a serene atmosphere with its remarkably preserved cloisters and grand refectory. The surrounding hillside village gained global fame through the legendary British writer Lawrence Durrell, who immortalized its charm in his famous memoir, Bitter Lemons of Cyprus. Walking through these ancient arches, you will experience the same timeless views and fragrant orange groves that have inspired travelers and poets for centuries.
-
Kyrenia CastleDominating the entrance to the old harbour, Kyrenia Castle is the best-preserved fortress on the island. A true architectural marvel, its history spans over a millennium: originally built by the Byzantines in the 7th century to defend against Arab raids, it was later fortified by the Crusaders and eventually expanded into its current massive form by the Venetians in the 16th century. Within its formidable walls, you can explore a 12th-century Byzantine chapel and the world-famous Shipwreck Museum. Walking along its high ramparts offers the most spectacular bird’s-eye views of the horseshoe-shaped harbour and the Mediterranean Sea.
-
Ancient Shipwreck MuseumLocated deep within the walls of Kyrenia Castle, this museum houses one of the most significant maritime discoveries in history: a 2,300-year-old Greek merchant vessel. This ancient trading ship is the oldest of its kind ever recovered from the seabed, remarkably preserved alongside its original cargo. As you stand before the timber hull, you will see the very amphoras (wine jars), grain mills, and almonds that were on board when the ship sank during the age of Alexander the Great's successors. It is a rare, hauntingly beautiful window into the ancient world’s maritime trade.
-
Kyrenia HarbourOften called the "Jewel of Cyprus," this horseshoe-shaped harbour is the most picturesque spot on the island. Here, you will truly breathe in the history of the city, where ancient stone warehouses—once used for the carob trade—have been transformed into charming waterfront cafes. Whether you are admiring the colorful fishing boats bobbing in the turquoise water or feeling the cool Mediterranean breeze, the harbour offers a perfectly relaxing atmosphere and a timeless Mediterranean charm.
- Known historically as the Porta del Proveditore, the Kyrenia Gate is one of the three original entrances to the walled city of Nicosia. Built by the Venetians in 1567 as part of their defensive masterplan, the gate served as the primary passage to the northern coast. As you walk through this stone monument, you will see a fascinating blend of eras: the original Venetian structure, the added Ottoman dome, and British-period inscriptions—a perfect architectural timeline of Nicosia's diverse history.

-
Selimiye CamiiThe most iconic landmark of North Nicosia, the Selimiye Mosque is a breathtaking fusion of East and West. Originally built in the 13th century as the Cathedral of Saint Sophia, it remains the largest and oldest Gothic structure on the island. Its soaring arches and flying buttresses mirror the grand medieval cathedrals of France, such as Notre Dame. Following the Ottoman conquest, minarets were added to its Gothic towers, transforming it into a majestic mosque. Standing before its massive facade, you will witness 800 years of history carved into stone—a true testament to the island's complex and vibrant heritage.
-
Buyuk HanThe Büyük Han is widely considered the most beautiful example of Ottoman architecture on the island. Built in 1572, this magnificent "caravanserai" served as a secure roadside inn for merchants and travelers for centuries. Located in the heart of the traditional market district, it is the largest of its kind in Cyprus and one of only two remaining inns that have preserved their original 16th-century character. Today, the atmospheric central courtyard—featuring a unique small mosque (mescit) raised on pillars—houses vibrant artisan workshops and traditional cafes, offering a perfect peaceful escape within the bustling city.
