The last time I have seen these places before this trip took place in July 1973. I enjoy to see Famagusta in the wall but I think 15' or 20' minutes more could make a noticeable difference. It was perfect at Bellapaïs Abbey and in Kyrenia (unfortunately they works on harbour pavement and you can have a sight on it either on the castle side or the opposite - no way other than to go by streets behind it (Sept 2023). I just like to underline that Varocha the phantom City is not visitable. You can see a part of the abandoned area from the bus from Famagousta till the check point to return to the Cyprus Republic. I believe that point had to be specified because people who don't know about July 1974 could imagine they will have time into this area. Thanks for clarifying this point in your offer.

It was a very nice tour. The communication was excellent, the timings for each location as well as our guide, Eleni, who shared very interesting insights as well as valuable personal stories. We really enjoyed the trip, all was smooth and better than expected given the rating of the tour. Just make sure you do not expect to stop at the ghost town because this is not included. But you will see it close enough from the bus.
