Salamis Ancient City

Historical landmark

👍 This is a must visit if you are in the area and enjoy seeing ruins. You can buy tickets on the day. I wish there were more information boards around. It is actually a huge site and we saw workers clearing more ruin sites. Keep an eye out for some well-preserved frescoes and mosaics on some of the ru...

Ledra Street

Historical landmark

👍👍 The street leads off Eleftheria square runs in a South to North direction and is about 1 km long. Most of it lies within the area effectively controlled by Cyprus. There are a large variety of shops on Ledra Street, ranging from department stores selling luxury goods to small specialty shops selling...

Hazrat Omer Tomb

The Liberty Monument

Historical landmark

👍👍 Maybe one of the most powerful monuments and testaments for freedom I've ever seen. The inscription "remember that you have to fight for freedom" will always be prescient. I was terribly impressed by the amount of bronze statues, their sheer detail and facial emotions

Namik Kemal Dungeon

Historical place

😠 Has nothing interesting for you as a tourist, it is an old small 2 story building. I have tried to visit the second floor Room several times since i live here but each time stairs were blocked and i could only visit it from outside.As you are passing it you can see a small window to a room with some...

St. Hilarion Castle Peak

Historical landmark

😐 Lovely castle tarnished by nonchalant attitude of visitors towards littering. The last cleanup effort took place in 2018 and a similar cleanup is sorely needed. Apparently masks are now the go to for making wishes at the peak 😂. Entry was 15 TL per adult. The opening and closing times are not to be...

Archaeological Site of Tenta at Kalavasos

Historical landmark

👍 Neolithic site from early Cypriot establishment. Smaller than Choirokoitia settlement a few km down the road. Best seen in together rather than in isolation. Only open weekdays. Cost 5 Euro for 2 adults. Take a hat and your own drinks.

4.30 (153 reviews) (~70.73 km from centre)

Kapalı Maraş

Historical landmark

👍👍 A wonderful experience that you won't see anywhere else. A ghost town that was abandoned and nothing has been touched since. It's like a movie set. If you have a walking disability or problem, you can rent a scooter/bicycle at the entrance. If you are not going with a tour, I recommend that you take...

Venetian palace ruins

Historical place

👍👍 When the Venetians took over Cyprus, it was not by force, but as the end result of intrigue perpetrated over many years. In 1468 they arranged a marriage (by proxy) between the Lusignan king James II, and Caterina Cornaro, the 18 year old daughter of one of Venice's most noble families. Within a yea...

The Lighthouse in Cape Greco
