Barnabas was Jewish and for his higher studies he went to Jerusalem. When Christianity was spreading he believed in Christianity and came back to Cyprus and started to spread the religion. There were people against his ideas.They killed Barnabas but the believers who had converted into Christianity burried him in a cave under a carob tree but the believers were chased all the way to Egypt and no one knew where he was burried for decades. How did they find his Tomb? Today you will visit his Tomb and the Icon Museum and your guide will tell you more about Barnabas......

Famagusta a must to visit.

Published on Sep, 2024

Beautiful little town. Pastries and coffee at Petek are awesome! Lots of history and ruins to look at. Varosha is just next door and well worth a visit. ( Abandoned in the 70’s ). Famagusta is a must to visit in North Cyprus.

Beautiful tour around Cyprus

Published on Aug, 2024

Sirin is the perfect guide to show you around Cyprus. She is very knowledgeable and helpful with a great sense of humor. This made the tours very enjoyable. I grew up in Cyprus yet she showed me places that I didn’t even know existed.

A good way to learn more about Cyprus

Published on Jul, 2024

We had joined this private tour to visit Salamis and Famagusta. Throughout the whole day tour, Sirin gave a thorough introduction of the histories of the above places, with proficient English. Meanwhile she also shared with us the history and socioeconomic information of Cyprus, as well as life of a local Cypriot. This tour is worth going if you want to know Cyprus on your visit

A must do sightseeing trip!

Published on Jul, 2024

Brilliant trip. Great to spend the day with our wonderful guide Sirin and see and hear some of the history of Cyprus. Best part was seeing some of the ‘ghost town’ of Famagusta. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Journey Through Famagusta: Exploring History with an Exceptional Guide

Published on Mar, 2024

Our day-long trip to the town of Famagusta was an absolute delight, thanks to our exceptional guide Sirin. She shared stories of St Barnabas, enriching our understanding of the place. She took us to archeological site of Salamis and to Inner walls of Famagusta. Every moment was filled with wonder and discovery. Her passion for the city shone through.
