On this day trip to Famagusta from Paphos, we will cross the Green Line to enter the Turkish side of Cyprus and visit the monastery of St. Barnabas, where the tomb of this apostle is located.

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Paphos and proceed to our destination, with a stop at Choirokitia for refreshments.
