Ali knows the history of every stop and tells it in English or Turkish. He waits while you explore and never rushes you. One rider called it the cheapest way they found to see Varosha.

We booked an Ercan Airport transfer from Famagusta. Our driver picked us up on time, waited while we met our friend at the airport, and then drove us back comfortably.
