See both sides of Cyprus with this guided tour. Your driver/guide take you from Limassol into Northern Cyprus, where you'll have a chance to visit the Salamis Archaeological Site, the former capital of the island for more than a millennium. You'll also stop by the tomb of St Barnabas and the ghost town of Famagusta, a holiday resort that was abandoned after the 1974 Turkish invasion.
