Salamis and Famagusta is the perfect tour for both ancient and modern history. Our guide, Lisa was incredibly knowledgeable about both the ancient Greeks and Romans and the conflict between Turkey and Cyprus. We learned more than we could ever say. We were also treated to a couple of Cypriot folk songs, performed by our guide who has a beautiful singing voice. The best day!

Fascinating ancient and modern history. Well worth the trip.

Emozionante camminare tra le rovine di Salamina, un sito che ho studiato sui libri di storia e che non avrei mai immaginato di visitare.
Varosha, la città fantasma, mi ha ancora di più evidenziato l' insensatezza delle guerre.
