Cyprus with all your senses: TOP 5 unforgettable experiences

Cyprus is an island where the turquoise sea meets dramatic cliffs, mountain villages smell of wine and history, and every day brings a new experience. It is an island of contrasts, stories, and adventures. During a single vacation, you can explore ancient ruins, drive along mountain trails in a jeep, sail along dramatic cliffs, and relax in the evening on a luxury catamaran with a glass in your hand.

We have selected for you the TOP 5 trips in Cyprus from Join UP!, which perfectly combine exploration, fun, and relaxation. Just take your pick – or enjoy them all.

 1. Ghost town – mysterious Varosha & Famagusta

Travel to places where time has stood still. Varosha, known as the "ghost town," is one of the most powerful experiences in Cyprus. Abandoned hotels, empty streets, and silence that tells its own story.

During the trip, you will also visit historic Famagusta and the ancient ruins of Salamis – once one of the most important cities on the island. 

2. Cavo Greco & Blue Lagoon – natural icons of Cyprus

Discover the most photogenic corner of the island – Cape Greco National Park. Dramatic cliffs, sea caves, the romantic Bridge of Lovers, and the legendary Blue Lagoon with crystal clear water.

 3. Troodos Jeep Safari – mountain adventure

Swap the beach for the mountains and discover the authentic face of Cyprus in the Troodos Mountains.

You can look forward to off-road driving through pine forests, visits to traditional mountain villages, waterfalls hidden in nature, and local wine tasting. From the mountain peaks, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views.
