Not sure how much you can see in 8 hours? Our team can help with
suggestions that give you time for sightseeing, eating, shopping, swimming, exploring or just
chilling. It really is up to you!
Here are some suggestions to get you started...
Three castles and a coffee
Visit three magnificent Crusader castles perched high in the Five Finger Mountains – St
Hilarion, Buffavento and Kantara. Then enjoy your chauffeur-driven drive down to the coastline
to historic Kyrenia harbour for a coffee, a cocktail or dinner
– the choice is yours!
Ancient ruins and rare turtles
Some North Cyprus beaches hold a very special secret; thousands of turtle eggs buried deep in
the warm sands. Spend an afternoon exploring historic Cyprus sites other tours don’t stop at,
before heading to the beach at sunset to see turtles lay their eggs. Or watch as
conservationists guard tiny turtle hatchlings as they scurry down to the sea. (Turtle watching
must be booked in advance and is only available at the start and end of the breeding season -
ask us for details and locations.)
Hidden villages of North Cyprus
Discover villages tucked high in the mountains that bus tours do not reach - but your driver
can! Visit pretty Lapta with its scented lemon groves, and the restored village of Karmi, with
street names like Geranium Lane, and the Crow's Nest pub as well as Bronze Age tombs. Or explore
the eco villages of Akdeniz and Buyukkonut.
Authentic local restaurants off the beaten track
Want to eat where the locals eat? Our team can recommend local restaurants
where the food is fresh, and the welcome as warm at the Cyprus sun. Taste the difference with
authentic kleftiko baked in a traditional oven, or savour the unique flavours of lahmacun
(Turkish pizza) as baked by hand in a tiny restaurant with just a few seats. Ask us for the
restaurants with the best sunset views, for the perfect end to an afternoon’s sightseeing with
your driver.
Sunshine, wine and dine
Start your tour with a visit to a quiet North Cyprus beach for a swim and a sunbathe without the
crowds. Then take to the hills on your own private artisan vineyard tour with the chance to
taste all the wines you wish - after all, you’re not driving home! Stop at a mountain restaurant
for lunch or plan your tour to end at an exclusive North Cyprus restaurant for cocktails and
dinner as the sun sets.
Ancient sites and modern spa
Take a tour of ancient sites in North Cyprus to discover how the Greeks, Roman and Ottomans
lived - and bathed! Stroll through the ruins of Salamis with its bath house and theatre, or take
a walking tour of Nicosia to discover the Turkish baths housed in an old church. Then after a
spot of lunch, soak away the afternoon in a state of the art modern spa for beauty treatments
and a soothing massage, North Cyprus style.
