Activity itinerary

Hala Sultan Tekke

  • 20m
Rising gracefully from the shores of the stunning Larnaca Salt Lake, Hala Sultan Tekke is one of the most breathtaking and spiritually significant sites in the entire Islamic world. Its elegant domes shimmer in the still waters below, while the peaceful surroundings create an atmosphere of profound serenity. A place where nature, history, and spirituality converge in a way that stays with you long after you leave.

Larnaka Salt Lake

  • 15m
Stretching alongside the road to Hala Sultan Tekke, Larnaca Salt Lake is one of Cyprus' most captivating natural landmarks — a place that shifts and transforms with the seasons. In winter it fills with shimmering water, in summer it becomes a vast, otherworldly expanse of white salt glittering under the Mediterranean sun. A place of quiet, unexpected beauty that surprises every visitor.

Byzantine Museum of Saint Lazarus

  • 30m
Standing at the very heart of Larnaca for over a thousand years, the magnificent Church of St. Lazarus is built above the reputed tomb of Lazarus himself — the man Jesus raised from the dead. Beneath its ancient arches and timeless Byzantine domes, centuries of faith, history, and daily Cypriot life converge in perfect harmony. Step inside and feel the extraordinary stillness that only truly sacred places can offer.

Nicosia

  • 2h
Welcome to Nicosia — the last divided capital in Europe and one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Walk along the impressive 16th-century Venetian walls, stroll through the charming medieval alleys of Laiki Geytonia, and admire the magnificent Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. Then cross the Green Line checkpoint into Northern Nicosia — where the breathtaking Hagia Sophia Cathedral, a stunning 13th-century Gothic masterpiece later transformed into a mosque, stands as a powerful symbol of Cyprus' complex and extraordinary history. Enjoy free time to explore, wander, and savour lunch in this truly unique city.
