Morning sun strikes the polished rails of St Georgios I and the sea answers with a ribbon of turquoise. You step aboard where varnish still remembers the hand of a former president, choose the Relax Deck for wide views or the cool lounge for shaded watching, and feel the boat tilt toward Cape Greco as limestone cliffs hurry past.

Morning sun strikes the polished rails of St Georgios I and the sea answers with a ribbon of turquoise. You step aboard where varnish still remembers the hand of a former president, choose the Relax Deck for wide views or the cool lounge for shaded watching, and feel the boat tilt toward Cape Greco as limestone cliffs hurry past.
This short coastal run threads modern history and older geology: Famagusta’s Varosha sits as a contested memory on the northern horizon while the limestone of Cape Greco, carved into sea caves and natural arches, tells of millennia of wave work. Agioi Anargyroi’s tiny church perches over a cave that has been a coastal place of worship for generations; farther out, pirate-era hideouts still shape the shoreline. Local culture is seafood-forward and unhurried — the BBQ on board follows that rhythm.
Practically, expect a three-hour cruise that includes an anchorage at the Blue Lagoon for swimming, a slide and platform for jumps, plus snorkel gear and life jackets. One alcoholic drink or cocktail is included (18+ for alcohol); the operator asks passengers to be 16 or older. There are steps to board and to the washrooms below deck; staff manage safety briefings and equipment.
Plan to arrive before 09:45 for a 10:00 departure, bring reef-safe sunscreen, and pack a towel and light wind layer for the return. The sea will tempt you to leap; it will also show you green turtles and hidden caves — respectful distance keeps both clean and wild.

The St Georgios I was once the private yacht of President Glafcos Clerides; cruises pass Varosha, an abandoned resort area frozen since 1974, and ancient limestone formations used historically as coastal shelter.
Cape Greco is a protected area — avoid touching or standing on submerged seagrass beds, use reef-safe products, and take all rubbish back to shore to minimize impact.
