Highlights
Welcome to Cyprus! We’re Ascot Travel & Tours, a family-run company established in 1990. Discover the island’s history and culture on our Grand Tour of Nicosia & Larnaca, blending tradition, heritage, and modern life. Our first stop is Lefkara Village, famous for its lace and silverwork. Visit the Traditional House of Lefkaritika Lace to learn about this unique craft and see exquisite handmade pieces. In Nicosia, Cyprus’s divided capital, we pass the Venetian Walls, Famagusta Gate, and the Archbishop’s Palace before reaching Ledra Street for free time. Explore local cafés, shops, or visit the Leventis Museum and Shacolas Tower for panoramic views — and, if you wish, cross into the Turkish-occupied area via the UN buffer zone. Our final stop is Larnaca, where you can visit St. Lazarus Church, stroll the Old Town, and enjoy the Finikoudes Promenade with its palm trees, cafés, and sea views.

About Limassol
Limassol is Cyprus's second city and main port, with a medieval castle, a long seafront, wine villages in the hills and Roman ruins close by.
Limassol sits on the south coast of Cyprus, a port city with a modern waterfront of towers and marinas beside an old town of narrow lanes. The medieval castle near the old harbour is traditionally linked with the wedding of Richard the Lionheart and Berengaria of Navarre in 1191. The Molos promenade runs for kilometres along the shore through gardens, and the central market sells fruit, fish and spices.
