Being the pearl of Mediterranean, Cyprus is a meeting point for different cultures and civilizations with its myths and legends. The island resembling an open-air museum is a perfect destination for getting use of the historical areas at special projects.

Ruins of Salamis

Salamis was founded during the migrations at the end of the Bronze Age by the hordes coming from Anatolia and by the Achaeans coming from Greece and attending these Anatolian hordes in Kilikia. It is supposed that the legendary founder of Salamis was the son of Telamon, the king of Salamis in Greece, namely Tefkros. Tefkros was cast away from the country since he could not prevent his brother, Ajax’s suicide during the Trojan wars. That is why, he takes a group of people that he captivates at Trojan wars together with him and he comes to Cyprus in B.C. 1184 and he founds the city of Salamis in Cyprus. Salamis has an antique theatre with a capacity to accommodate 5.000 people and an open space area of 1000 square meters. The Ruins is a good choice for organizations such as gala nights and barbecue parties

Built with the revenue earned from an only voyage by a merchant named Simon Nostrano of Famagusta around the dates 1358 and 1360. It was turned into mosque after the capture of Famagusta by the Ottomans and as a tribute to Sinan Paşa, its name was changed after him as Sinan Paşa Mosque. Due to its usage as potatoes’ and grain storehouse during the period of British colony, it was started to be called as grain mosque. It has a free covered space of nearly 400 square meters with an altitude of 10 meters. The Church is now affiliated to Administration of Endowed Charities and is still being used. It is a convenient place for gala nights.

Built by Luzinyans in 14th century in order to protect the marina. During the period of Venetians, it was reshaped by Nicola Foscarini. On the upper side of the entry door, the national emblem of Venice Republic, the lion of St. Mark, the name of Nicola Foscarini and the year 1492 were carved. The Fortress was named after one of the famous plays of Shakespeare. It has an open space of 500 square meters, a covered space of 400 square meters and many large and small cellars together with rooms and kitchen. The Fortress is an appropriate place for gala nights and concept parties and for degustation.

One of our concepts for gala night is “Greek Night with Fedon”. It is a night to experience the Greek culture and history at Othello Fortress, which represents the history of Cyprus with its interior design, decoration and atmosphere. You will have the opportunity to see and experience the Greek culture and history with a unique atmosphere in a place peculiar to Cyprus. Plus, you will have to chance to taste various delicious food while you are having an enormous Greek night with Fedon. The path to the entry of Othello Fortress is illuminated with torches. On the entry to the Fortress, the visitors are welcomed by the hostesses dressed in ancient Greek costumes. While a musician plays the harp at the entry, the hostesses serve Cyprus wine to the guests. Since the Othello Fortress is decorated within the frame of ancient Green culture, in another different dimension of time, the guests are shown the way to their seats by the waiters in ancient Greek costumes as well. After the guests take their seats, they are served a rich hors d’oeuvres plate. Later on, appetizers are served such as calamari and stuffed rice with shrimp. When the local band leaves the stage, the famous singer Fedon takes their place with his group. While the program continues, the main dishes composed of whiting fillet with sauce, potatoes, lemon, seasonal vegetables and Greek Salad with a special sauce are served. As it can be understood from its name, since our gala night is a Greek night, as the tradition requires during the hours in which the entertainment reaches the highest point, breaking plates to show the respect to the artist on the stage takes place. After the main dish, the dinner ends with the sliced fruit plates. With the fireworks show to be done at the end of the night, a spectacular view is realized. Later on, we return to the hotel.

As an alternative, you may brighten your night with fireworks at the end of the night.

Interior Decoration at the Hotel

The entry of the hotel is decorated with an entry apparatus made of Styrofoam over which there is the logo of the firm. On the entry hall, the columns of the hotel are separated by the columns made of Styrofoam. The area over which the registration desk will be situated, is decorated with façades with an effect of column and rampart. The lobby of the hotel and the path to elevators are blocked starting from the reception side. By this way, the guests are directly taken to registration field. With the only exit from this section, the animators nearby lead the guests to the door going to elevators.

When the guests come to the airport, they are welcomed by the animators dressed in costumes specific to a period. At the buses on the way to hotel, the professional guides give general information about the history of Cyprus. However; among this information some secret codes are also give and the guides warn the guests about these.

For instance: The guides say: “According to a myth, on the left wall of the East tower of Famagusta Fortress, there is a key belonging to a hidden passage among the rocks. Yet it could not be located until this time.”

On the arrival to the hotel, the guests are welcomed by the animators and special arrangement at the lobby prepared for them.

First day

After the gathering up, the teams depart for Kyrenia. The guests are given a free time to shop in Kyrenia. After a trip to Kyrenia Fortress and Bellapais Monastery, the guests return to the hotel.

Around 8 p.m., the guests are invited to the beach by the animators. The party to be arranged at the beach is to be prepared in line with the same concept. A visual show will be made with torches, ramparts, flags, fireworks’ show during the later hours of the night and fire effects to be arranged at the specific areas of the field.

With the announcements to be attached to the tables at breakfast, information is given about the daily activities. Over the tables, there are special napkins with prints over them and there are special napkin rings with the logo of the firm over them. After the symposium, guests are taken to Famagusta Fortress by bus and they are separated into groups for the orientation prepared for them and they are delivered at different gates. At this event, Byzantium public life is actualized. For instance, special points such as grocery, pottery, academy, school of gladiators and photographer’s are built. Since the photographer’s is close to Venetian Palace, the guests may get their photos taken. From these points which are formerly specified in the sketches distributed to the guests, the animators ask some questions to the guests and lead them to their place and gave them some numbers.

The sketch is to be arranged in a way that is easy to read. At the same time, this very sketch is to be the map of a history tour within the Famagusta Fortress. The numbers gathered at the stations defined in the sketch are to return as gifts at the lottery of the gala. However; the guest who takes heed of the cues to be given at each point will receive the signal reward.

For instance: There is a key given by the seller at the market. This key belongs to a treasure box to be situated in an easily detectable place between the present station and the one coming after. Perhaps, there is a mini pocket computer inside the box. At another station, there is an envelope attached to the wall and it is slightly covered with plaster. However; as a cue, next to the envelope, there is a scraper hung on the wall. And the cue for the place to be dug will be the logo of the firm. In one of the other stations, there is a fortune teller and she gives some clues. The fortune teller wants the coupons to be collected by the guests until that time and she gives the secret map to the ones who are willing to give the coupons. In this map, the places are shown that have more coupons and gifts. At another station, another gift waits for the guests. During this event, the Fortress of Famagusta is prepared in a way that resembles the parts of a computer game. The guests are provided with food and rest at some stations in line with the concept. At this station, the animators serve complimentary food within the pots over which there is the logo of the firm. The first point to be reached is the Venetian Palace and here great surprises are prepared for the guests. Perhaps, while the majority of the crow gathered, the soldiers would enter into the scene. They would interfere with the situation and announce that it was an illegal event and they would take the identity cards of the participants. By this way some of the guests would be eliminated since unless their identity cards would be brought again, they would not leave the area.

An alternative surprise is the music video shot at Famagusta Fortress. The singer in this video may be the singer that will be singing at the gala night. The scenario of the video is composed of the people at the background, of their closely shot faces and what they say about life.The name of the singer whose video is being shot is “Hayat”. The animators who wait at the area and who acts as manufacturing assistant offer the participants to show up in the video. The ones who are willing should pass behind the singer, come in front of the camera and tell something spontaneously about life. The shootings will be shown at full screen during the gala night.
