5 days in Famagusta Itinerary

Just east of the capital sits Famagusta, an ancient port city with archaeological attractions, as well as an abandoned quarter that is popular among tourists as a symbol of the conflict between Turks and Greeks.

You've now added Ghost Town Varosha to your itinerary. Venture out of the city with trips to Kantara Castle (in Trikomo) and Kyrenia (Church of Antiphonitis, Kyrenia Harbour, &more). There's much more to do: explore the ancient world of Salamis Ancient City, take in the spiritual surroundings of Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, step into the grandiose world of Othello Castle, and contemplate the long history of Famagusta City Walls.
