Cyprus · 1-DAY TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 6 1-day tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend 9 to 10 hours exploring Northern Cyprus with a private guide such as Sedat, Sebnem, Cemal, or Ozgur. Cross from Ledra Street, visit ancient Salamis, Famagusta, Varosha, Kyrenia, Bellapais, and North Nicosia, with lunch, transport, and entrance fees included.
“Open to all questions and very flexible. Highly interesting day, time well spent and worthwhileAuto-translated”
Travel by private vehicle from Kyrenia, Nicosia, or Famagusta to St. Barnabas Monastery, Salamis, medieval Famagusta, and the abandoned Varosha quarter. Guide Sirin leads the day with stories about Cyprus, Ottoman rule, Gothic architecture, and the city’s divided past. Admission and bottled water are included, while lunch is extra.
“We had an amazing day visiting the St. Barnabas monastery, the ruins in Salamis, the abandoned city of Varosha, admiring the gothic architecture in Famagusta with the lovely Sirin. Her passion for Cyprus history makes her a great guide. Totally recommend to book a day trip with her!”
Travel from Paphos in a small, air-conditioned group to Aphrodite’s Rock, lace-making Lefkara, Limassol, and ancient Kourion. Your English-speaking guide, such as Vladimir or Viola, explains Cyprus along the way. The seven-hour trip includes Kourion admission, hotel pickup, and time for lunch, but the minibus can feel cramped and stops are tightly timed.
“It was well organized and on time. Our guide Vladimir made it very interesting and gave us a lot of information about Cyprus in general and the places we visited.”
Travel from Paphos by air-conditioned minivan to Petra tou Romiou, lace-making Lefkara, Limassol’s old port, and cliff-top Kourion. An English-speaking guide leads the day, with Kourion admission included. Bring water, sun protection, and comfortable shoes. Lunch is extra.
“Our Guide was very knowledgeable and cheery. The only thing I hadn’t envisaged was the people carrier. Luckily I was in the middle seats, but my husband who sat in back said it was quite bumpy!”
Travel from Limassol to Paphos in an air-conditioned van with an English, Spanish, or Polish-speaking guide. Visit Paphos Castle, the UNESCO-listed Archaeological Park, St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church, and Aphrodite’s Rock. Cold drinks, WiFi, wine, and Cyprus sweets are included.
“We spent amazing all day with family . Many places visit, very individual and private tour. Car was very comftable , guide told us about many interesting things about island. Really recomande this tour.”
