Cappadocia to Cyprus & Istanbul
New
This 5 day journey starts in Cappadocia and ends in Istanbul, with two full days in northern Cyprus sandwiched in between. Explore Varosha’s evocative ghost streets, admire the Gothic facade of St Nicholas Cathedral – now the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque – and wander through Othello Castle. Expect to see the vast Salamis Ruins and the tranquil St Barnabas Church and Monastery. You’ll also have a free day in Girne to follow your own pace – seaside strolls, cafes and local flavour. Fly to Istanbul for a last night in the city before departure – a smooth finish after a culture rich escape.
