FRIENDS OF ASOR TOURS

Archaeological Tour of Cyprus 2026

Next summer, join 15+ ASOR archaeologists* for an unforgettable journey through Cyprus, where archaeology meets breathtaking Mediterranean beauty. Immerse yourself in behind-the-scenes tours with scholars, archaeologists, excavators, and museum curators who will personally guide the group through a curated itinerary of sites and museums, including:
