About the trip

Riviera Travel’s escorted tour through Northern Cyprus offers a week in Kyrenia as a base to explore the region’s layered history and landscapes. The itinerary leads from Kyrenia’s restored harbour and Byzantine-Venetian castle, including a museum with a 3,000-year-old shipwreck, to secluded mountain wineries where the vineyards produce wine exported beyond Cyprus.

Further north-west visits include Güzelyurt’s fruit orchards and Neolithic sites, the ancient city of Soli with its Roman theatre and mosaics, and the hilltop ruins of the Palace of Vouni. The medieval castles of St Hilarion and Bellapais Abbey, the latter known for its Gothic refectory, provide a glimpse into the island’s Crusader past.

The tour also ventures to Nicosia, the divided capital, with its Venetian walls, Ottoman-era mosques formerly Christian cathedrals, and eclectic markets. The journey finishes with a day along the east coast visiting Salamis’s beachside archaeological site, the former resort of Varosha, and the Monastery of St Barnabas. This is a thoughtful programme to Northern Cyprus, where ancient ruins stand beside reminders of more contemporary history.
