Map of routes
Egypt
Holy Land
Greek Islands, Lebanon

If you are taking a reasonably long break in Cyprus, then a mini cruise to the Holy Land, Egypt, Lebanon , Syria or the Greek Islands is to be recommended. However you can never be sure what will be running to where in the current political climate. In 2018 it is not happening to Egypt but it is to Israel and Lebanon. Go figure.

 You can see a lot in 2 or 3 days, and although it is very much an organised tour, it is an interesting one.    You do not have to take any of the excursions at the other end, if you prefer you can wander around by yourself, but for goodness sake don't miss the boat !

You can take a 2 or 3 legged journey, and as you can see by the map both places are very convenient to Cyprus.

There is usualy a two day cruise to Egypt that departs twice a week from Limassol. We hope there will be again soon.
On arrival you can be taken by coach to Cairo to see the Egyptian museum, the Pyramids at Giza and the sphinx. Usually a couple of shopping venues are included as well. 

The cruise to the Holy land also departs from Limassol to Haifa.
Then a coach will take you (if you book it) to Jerusalem and take a guided tour of Golgotha and the Kidron valley, also a walk to the wailing wall, churches, bazaars and
then on to Bethlehem.

Then there is the Greek Island more day option

There are also many day cruises around Cyprus on excursion boats. Some are better than others as with anything else. To see a selection of what is available and from where, see here.
