Highlights
This tour offers a blend of tradition, history, and cultural contrasts unlike any other. You’ll step into the timeless charm of Lefkara, where lace-making and silverwork have been passed down for generations, before experiencing the only divided capital in the world—Nicosia.

Visiting Büyük Han, a beautifully restored 16th-century caravanserai, adds an authentic touch of history. This journey provides an unparalleled insight into Cyprus’ rich past and evolving present, making it a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
