Today we drive to the east of the island, which is known as Famagusta. St. Barnabas Monastery and the Tomb of St. Barnabas will be visited. Barnabas was one of the Saints who had spread Christianity with St. Paul.  Salamis Ruins date back to 11BC. It was one of the oldest Kingdoms in Cyprus until 7AD. Gymnasium Roman baths are some of the sights that you will see while you listen to the amazing history of the island. Where is Arsinoe? When did it become Famagusta? This Medieval city is surrounded by high walls, which were made by Lusignans, and later additions were made by Venetians. St. Nicholas Cathedral and Venetian Palace are the few sights that you'll visit. What did the Ottomans do when they took over from the Venetians?
