What to do and see in Ayia Napa, Famagusta District: The Best Wine Tours & Tastings

August 17, 2021 Timmy Ribble

This resort town, with its great beaches, has a bit of a Spring Break atmosphere (the parties start in the late afternoon and go all night). If dancing in a bikini is not your thing, though, no worries—you can explore a medieval monastery or enjoy cruises on the lovely blue water. Families will want to visit Water World, the biggest theme waterpark in Europe.

I did the Finding Famagusta tour with Cyprus Taste Tours. It was scheduled as a group tour, but because participants dropped out last minute, they ran it as private tour for me with no additional markup (which was deeply appreciated!). Beginning to end, the staff at Cyprus Taste Tours were friendly, informative, communicative and wonderful at organizing my tour. I did most of Cyprus independently by Intercity bus, but was absolutely thrilled I visited Famagusta with Cyprus Taste Tours. I learned so much about the history of Famagusta and Cyprus generally, and I had exposure to places and people on my tour I never would have had traveling independently. It was just a terrific tour overall, and the guides - Louisa and Marina - were just awesome! It was like hanging out with two good friends all day. From pickup to drop off, the lunch, the wine tasting, everything was just perfect! I highly recommend Cyprus Taste Tours and would happily book another tour with them when I return to Cyprus in the future. Wonderful tour company! Thank you so much for everything, I had such a great day!
