Next, travel to Othello’s Tower, where Shakespeare was inspired to write his famous play "Othello."

We were contacted by the guide on whatsapp a day before the trip amd agreed to meet at the border (as we were travelimg by our car from Pafos, which is 2 hours away). She were flexible and agreed to start the tour 45 minutes later. Which probably meant to end at the original timing, i.e. 16.15. We ended at 16.30; but we would have welcomed if we cozld stay in Famagusta a bit longer. Anyways, the guide was very knowlegeble about the place we visited and we learnt a great deal of history (ancient and Turkish angle of modern hisotry). It was great experience and we enjoyed it.

Thanks Gemma for showing us around. We dived into the Cypriot history with all different kinds of timelines. We had a great time and got a lot of very interesting information. Definitely much better than a group tour. Only thing what could have made it a 5 star review is that we would have wanted to dive a bit deeper into the local habits, but we know this was a historical tour. And with all we know now, spend more time in famagusta town and have local food. The restaurant near Salamis wasn’t really our type of place, but was okay. Thanks again Gemma and I would definitely recommend this tour!

Jemma was wonderful & really gave us all the details we needed, understood we were interested in the history (& not shopping &/or eating) & made sure we saw all of the highlights! Totally recommend this trip not only for the amazing sights but also for the Turkish Cypriot point of view.
