Enjoy a fascinating trip to two of Cyprus' most popular cities, rich in history and culture. We begin at Hala Sultan Tekke, a significant Islamic shrine in Larnaca, dedicated to Umm Haram, the Prophet Mohammed’s relative. It is considered the third most important holy site in Islam.
Next, we visit Larnaca's Salt Lake, once a vital source of "white gold" for Cyprus’ economy and now a stunning natural attraction. A seaside walk offers refreshing views before we explore the famous 9th-century Church of St. Lazarus, known for miracles and attracting pilgrims worldwide.
Our journey continues to Nicosia, Cyprus’ divided capital. You’ll walk along Ledra Street, cross the "Green Line," and experience the city's northern part.
This tour is a perfect way to explore Cyprus’ diverse history and cultural landmarks while enjoying its breathtaking sights.
