This excursion offers an exceptional mix of history, architecture, and scenic beauty, starting in the Famagusta Walled City with its Venetian fortifications, Othello Tower and Gothic St. Nicholas Cathedral. Next is Bellapais Abbey, a Gothic monastery founded by Cistercian monks in the 12th century, nestled on the slopes of the Kyrenia Mountains. The day finishes in the coastal town of Kyrenia, with its picturesque harbour, Venetian castle and museum, and blend of Venetian, Byzantine and Ottoman architecture.
