Tour DescriptionView the Fascinating ancient city of Famagusta from the perfect vantage point of the open top Red Bus. With running live commentary from our English speaking guides, this is the most fun way to see a bit more of Cyprus and enjoy a day out.
The city of Famagusta is dotted with ruins, relics and interesting architecture with plenty to see. Enjoy some free time to explore the old town with it's wealth of historic buildings. Wander down narrow lanes lined with cafe's and bars or relax with a Turkish coffee in sun dappled back streets. Leaving the old walled city our next stop on the tour is the gorgeous golden sands of Constantia Beach. Turtles are often seen in this area and snorkels and masks are provided for anyone who wishes to swim the crystal clear waters. An underwater camera is also available for use. The beach is right next to the the barbed wire fence separating the ghost town of Varosha from the modern world. Witness for yourself the sad remnants of this once bustling tourist hotspot. Famagusta used to be known as the jewel of the Mediterannean with glamourous visitors and famous people from all over the world flocking here for it's nightlife, gourmet restaurants, luxury hotels and beach life. Since the invasion in 1974, Varosha, the tourist part of Famagusta has been fenced off, left to rot and be reclaimed by nature. The Original Red Bus tour company started running in 2008 and has since won TripAdvisor's certificate of excellence many times and is regularly voted one of the best excursions available on the East Coast of Cyprus. This excursion is highly recommended. If you see the Book Now button below you can book this tour online. Otherwise please contact us to enquire. |
