Rien que le meilleur
Ce petit détail qui fait la différence : une étape en plus, un trésor caché... Que le meilleur
Step into the northern part of Cyprus and learn about the history that has shaped this fascinating island. Your journey begins in the walled old town of Nicosia, where past and present meet in a maze of honey-coloured stone and cobbled lanes. As our local guide Eleni says, “Nicosia is a living museum - every archway and balcony has a story to tell.” Wandering through the restored quarter of Laiki Yeitonia, you'll admire traditional houses with wooden balconies lining narrow streets, while nearby Ledra Street blends tradition with modern cafés and boutiques.
From the capital, the scene shifts to the sparkling coastline of Kyrenia. This harbour town is watched over by its mighty castle, home to one of the world's oldest and best-preserved shipwrecks. You'll have free time to stroll along the waterfront, browse local shops or simply soak up the sea views.
Your final stop is the Gothic Bellapais Abbey, perched high on a hillside above Kyrenia. Eleni often reminds visitors, “Bellapais isn't just beautiful - it's a place to pause and feel the poetry of Cyprus.” It's easy to see why author Lawrence Durrell was inspired to write Bitter Lemons here, surrounded by the tranquillity and timeless charm of this mountain village.
