Travelers from all over the world come to the Cypriot city of Famagusta to visit the ancient and new sites, enjoy a comfortable stay on the snow-white beaches of the Mediterranean Sea, and, from a distance, glimpse the mystical area of Varosha.

 

Within a 10-minute drive from Famagusta, you will find the ruins of the first capital of Cyprus - Salamis. Here you can find ruins of an amphitheater, ancient basilicas and baths in all their antiquity. In contrast to the southern part of Cyprus, the ancient monuments of the Turkish portion were not restored. Famagusta attracts truly connoisseurs of ancient history, who here are able to touch eternity.

 

If you want to learn more about the cuisine of Cyprus, Famagusta is an excellent place to start. The cuisine of Cyprus combines diverse elements of Mediterranean, Turkish, Middle Eastern, and European cuisine.

 

The local beaches extend from the suburbs of Famagusta to the Karpas Peninsula, separated by small isthmuses. The sea here is calm with crystal-clear water, and the beach areas are equipped with umbrellas, sunbeds, and restrooms.
