Retken kuvaus

Tämä kokopäiväretki vie sinut Kyproksen pohjoisosaan kolmelle kiehtovimmalle paikalle – muinaiseen Salamiin kaupunkiin, Famagustan vanhaan kaupunkiin ja Varoshan ”aavekaupunkiin”. Elpida, yksi paikallisoppaistamme, sanoo: "Pohjois-Kypros on paikka, jossa aika on pysähtynyt - tarkalleen vuoteen 1974. Jäljellä on joukko keskeneräisiä hotelleja, puoliksi raunioituneita kirkkoja ja kapeita minareetteja."

Matka menneisyyteen alkaa antiikin aikaisesta Salamiista. Tutustut muun muassa sen raunioituneisiin temppeleihin sekä osittain restauroituun teatteriin. Stavroula, toinen paikallisoppaistamme, kertoo: "Salamis ei pelkästään täynnä muinaisia myyttejä, vaan pyhä Barnabas, joka toi kristinuskon Kyprokselle ensimmäisellä vuosisadalla, on haudattu läheiseen luostariin."

Nautittuasi lounaan, vierailet Famagustassa, jonka vanhaa kaupunkia suojaavat yhä muurit, jotka venetsialaiset rakensivat vuosisatoja sitten. Oppaasi esittelee sinulle nähtävyyksiä, kuten linnan ja moskeijaksi muuttuneen goottilaisen katedraalin. Elpida kertoo: "Pääsisäänkäynnin edessä on viikunapuu, jonka katedraalin rakentaneet ristiretkeläiset istuttivat - se on siis Famagustan vanhin elävä puu." Vierailun päätteeksi teet vielä kävelykierroksen Varoshan "aavekaupungissa". Tämä aikoinaan suosittu rantalomakohde on ollut autioituneena yli 50 vuotta. Kävely sen umpeenkasvaneilla kaduilla, jonka varrella on rapistuneita julkisivuja, ruostuneita ikkunaluukkuja ja rikkinäisiä ikkunoita, on surrealistinen kokemus.

Guiden talade väldigt snabbt o rätt så otydlig engelska. Överambitiös som alla guider alltid är. Det går inte att proppa in hur mycket som helst i huvudet. Skulle vara bättre med lite tydligare o mindre information. Lite mera sammanfattat i stora drag. Han var inte överdrivet trevlig heller.

We were told the trip was 8 hours. The trip was 12 hours door to door. We missed our restaurant booking as we didn't get back till 19.45. It took 4 hours from pick to the border. Too long to sit on a coach. I wouldn't recommend this trip

It was a long drive but the comfort stops were too long. We would have liked a bit less time in the old town. We didn't realise it was an 11 hour tour. The 'ghost town' was interesting, but some people struggled to keep up. Salamis was absolutely amazing. (Also, thanks for the refreshing lemonade.)

Activities

Caledonia Waterfalls tour with hike and Cypriot lunch

The lush, cool forest that carpets the Troodos Mountains is an ideal escape near Paphos. A perfect contrast to the beach, you'll journey along a scenic route into the hills, where your destination is the village of Platres. Here, you'll set off on a 3km hike along the stream to the Caledonia Falls, followed by a traditional lunch at Psilo Dendro restaurant. Andri, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll enjoy the journey as much as the destination on this hike, which follows and criss-crosses a stream over a series of little bridges all the way to the waterfall.'We'll get the tour started on a refreshing note with a stop at Kolossi Fruit Garden. Here you'll have the chance to try some fresh lemonade and buy fruit before continuing further into the mountains to the pretty hilltop village of Platres. This is the starting point for the nature trail, which traces the bubbling Kryos Potamos stream through the trees. You'll be glad of sturdy footwear as you head along the scenic trail, which is quite uneven in places with some rocks, roots and rivulets to keep it interesting.It's a forest walk in dappled shade, leading through a variety of gnarly trees including pines and strawberry trees. Once you reach the Caledonia Falls, you'll be able to take a break - and have a paddle if you wish - at the shaded freshwater pool, then continue to the famous Psilo Dendro restaurant with its very own trout farm. Relax over lunch – needless to say, trout is a speciality – and end the day on a high.

The drive into the Troodos Mountains is a journey to another Cyprus. Rustic stone villages dot pine-studded valleys and traditional ways of life still hold sway.

Eva, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The Troodos Mountains are where I find my soul.

Then it's on to the star of the show, the beautiful Kykkos Monastery, perched on top Mount Kykkos. The interior is richly decorated, and you won't be able to keep your eyes off the icons and frescoes. You'll hear the legend of why its most famous icon, ‘the Golden Girl', remains half-hidden. And you'll also have some free time to wander around the grounds and enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains.We'll then visit Throni Hill and the elaborate tomb of Archbishop Makarios III.

The journey into the Troodos Mountains is a journey to another Cyprus. Rustic stone villages dot tree-clad valleys where traditional ways of life still hold sway. This tour takes you into the spiritual heart of the highlands, the Kykkos Monastery, as well as up to Throni Hill.

The rituals connected with her as well as the plants and seashells associated with her.'You'll dive straight into the past to see Petra tou Romiou, a sea stack where, local legend has it, the goddess Aphrodite was born.

Evening drink at Aphrodite's Rock and Cypriot folk dinner

Tasty meze, music and dancing – this trip has all the ingredients for a right old Cypriot night. And if that wasn't enough, it all comes after a drink overlooking Aphrodite's Rock – birthplace of the mythical goddess of love. Alexia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘At the taverna, you'll get together with the locals and feel their culture and dance. Nothing is better than the 100% authentic cuisine cooked by the women of the village, just like they cook at home.' Join us for a knees-up to remember in one of the area's most popular tavernas.We'll kick off with a short drive towards Petra tou Romiou – as Aphrodite's Rock is known locally. Clink glasses at this mythical sea stack and enjoy the evening light while sipping on a sparkling wine. ‘A celebration in honour of the goddess,' as Alexia says. You'll then head to the village of Kouklia, a short drive inland from the coast, for a Cypriot dinner with a difference.A first sight, it's a typical family-run taverna. You'll get to savour just about every Cypriot dish you could possibly wish for. The emphasis is on pure ingredients and traditional meze – cooked the way they've been for generations – washed down with local wines. But on summer evenings, the family takes over the street, hosting feasts of folkloric music and dancing. Let your hair down and join the locals with some boogying and shaking on the outdoor terrace. As nights out go, it's a showstopper.
