Step aboard St Georgios 1, once the private yacht of President Glafcos Clerides, Cyprus’s most beloved statesman. From the first cast-off, on this adults only departure, sunlight flashes across original period details—polished rails, classic fittings, and the captain’s instruments—while the sea breeze delivers that instant “holiday has begun” feeling.
Find your rhythm on the Relax Deck, where the coast unfurls in wide, cinematic sweeps, or slip into the cool, air-conditioned lounge framed by picture-window sea views. Up front, the Captain’s Table—once a hub for conversation and counsel—now becomes the heart of your voyage: part story circle, part lookout.
Cruise north as the silhouette of Famagusta rises and with it Varosha, the legendary “ghost town.” The scene is a compelling chapter in Cyprus’s modern story, echoing Clerides’s lifelong push for dialogue and reconciliation—even as the mood on board stays light and buoyant against a glittering horizon.
Turn south and the coastline becomes a postcard slideshow: Fig Tree Bay’s golden arc, Cape Greco’s cliffs, the whitewashed Agioi Anargyri Chapel, and the elegant span of Lovers Bridge. Cameras work overtime; every angle is a keeper.
At the Blue Lagoon, anchor in turquoise water so vivid it looks edited. Leap from the platform, whoosh down the slide, snorkel with darting fish, or simply float and let the sun do its thing. The crew’s warmth—and a little of Clerides’s spirit of hospitality—fills the water.
Enjoy a lunch of freshly grilled chicken, homemade chips, Cyprus couscous, pasta, crisp salad, and garlicky tzatziki. Vegetarian? You’re covered with items from our selection available. The bar hums all day with cold drinks and light bites. Don't forget you have a cocktail or beer included in the price.
On the homeward glide, Turtle Bay often delivers a final thrill—green sea turtles surfacing beside the hull to choruses of delighted shouts. As Protaras draws near, the late-afternoon light turns the sea to molten gold, and St Georgios 1’s storied silhouette feels especially timeless.
