It was an incredible few hours in which so much was covered and I came away feeling like I have now got a much greater knowledge of the events of the islands partition. The tour is well worth doing and Eleni is such a lovely person and a warm soul.

“I visited Cyprus for the second time this year. As I decided to get acquainted with the northern part of the island, I pre-booked a private tour to Kyrenia and Bellapais Abbey. The trip was led by Mrs. Sirin Suha. It was a spectacular half-day tour to amazing sites. And Mrs. Sirin was a wonderful companion - she speaks English perfectly, knows her job very well, and knows Cyprus and its history very well too. Therefore, immediately after that, we arranged an excursion to the medieval city of Famagusta and to the Troodos mountains. The last trips left a great impression not only because of the uniqueness of the objects…”
