Summary: An amazing trip to the North. The visit to Varasha/Famagusta was incredible, as you can actually walk into the ghost town and see the deserted hotels and buildings (which you couldn't before) It is a very long day, but great value for money. I would recommend this tour company for any excursions from Paphos (Qualiday Tours) as they offer the best value for money and have excellent guides.
