Description

Join us for a pleasant and much-loved journey through two of Cyprus’s most fascinating cities — Larnaca and Nicosia. This tour combines ancient history, sacred landmarks, and modern culture, making your holiday even more colorful and meaningful. We begin with a visit to Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque, one of the most important Islamic shrines in the world. Located near Larnaca’s Salt Lake, it is dedicated to Umm Haram, a relative of the Prophet Mohammed, who died here in the 7th century. The nearby Salt Lake, once a vital source of “white gold,” is now a stunning natural landmark, especially beautiful during flamingo season. Next, we explore the Church of Saint Lazarus, one of the most revered Christian sites on the island. Built in the 9th century, it holds relics of Saint Lazarus and has long been associated with miraculous healings and blessings. The charming coastal promenade nearby invites you for a relaxing walk with picturesque views. Our final stop is the island’s capital, Nicosia — the last divided capital in Europe. You’ll have free time to stroll along the bustling Ledra Street and cross the 'Green Line' into the Northern part of the city, where history and culture meet in a unique blend of Greek and Turkish Cypriot influences. This tour is a perfect way to experience the spiritual, historical, and cultural richness of Cyprus in one unforgettable day.
