    A memorable experience!

    We were fortunate enough to be able to take this tour from Limassol at extra cost. Our driver was very experienced, and although he provided much information, did not act as a guide, so we visited the locations ourselves. Given the venues this was not adverse. All the area is in the Turkish north of Cyprus so passports were necessary, and while there can be very long delays/queues at the border, this was January, so it was quiet. Although memorable it cannot for us be described as enjoyable, since the experience of visiting Varoche (now Maras) the up market area of Famagusta, and its desecration, now decaying after 57 years of neglect since the invasion of 1974, and the disrespect of the catholic St Nicholas Cathedral, now "converted" to a mosque, left a very sad feeling. More,so me, as I saw both in their glory in 1968. Our final visit was to Salamis, a vast spectacle, which requires much more time than we had. Finishing with a late lunch at a restaurant recommended by our driver, it was a day to be remembered.

    Great day

    Can’t say enough good things about our driver/guide, Steve. Very knowledgeable and willing to share. He listened to what we wanted and delivered. Comfortable vehicle. Very interesting sites visited that were on the itinerary and even some that weren’t. Famagusta is a very eye opening place to visit and see first hand the destruction of conflict. Other sights were also very good to see. We highly recommend this.tour and company for those visiting Cyprus.

    Best day in Cyprus

    Steve was a magnificent driver/guide. While not an official guide, Steve is very knowledgeable and willing to share what he knows. Very accommodating to our personal desires. The vehicle was very comfortable. Wonderful day visiting the sites on the itinerary as well as a few extras. We are extremely happy with our journey today and highly recommend this service.

    Cyprus - so many bucket list worthy sites

    Did a two day private tour that started with Famagusta but included some of the most amazing sites in the world, including the ancient Roman cities of Salamis and Paphos, as well as Othello's castle and Kolossi castle. Cyprus should be on everyone's bucket list and if you go you should use iTaxi so you don't miss anything.

    Excellent full day tour

    The trip was very interesting, the driver was very knowledgeable, kind and patient with us on such a hot day. We very much enjoyed Saint Barnabas monastery and Salamis especially the amphitheatre. We found seeing the ghost city of Famagusta hard (due to family history) but can see why people would find it interesting to visit.

    Full Day Tour in Famagusta: The Ghost City: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Larnaca.

    How much does Full Day Tour in Famagusta: The Ghost City cost?

    +

    Prices start at $514 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Larnaca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full Day Tour in Famagusta: The Ghost City take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Larnaca is not rushed.

    Is Full Day Tour in Famagusta: The Ghost City worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Larnaca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour in Famagusta: The Ghost City?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full Day Tour in Famagusta: The Ghost City suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour in Famagusta: The Ghost City?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Larnaca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Larnaca and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Tour in Famagusta: The Ghost City start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Larnaca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Larnaca?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Larnaca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Troodos Mountains Villages: All Inclusive Food & Wine Day Tour, Cape Greco Blue Lagoon and Ayia Napa Tour, FAB Private Customized Tours Cyprus from Larnaca city. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Larnaca?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Larnaca?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
