Overview

Explore the historic East Coast of Cyprus with a visit to Famagusta, a port city rich in heritage. Stroll through the Old Town and discover its fascinating past.
Visit Othello Castle, built in the 14th century by the Lusignan dynasty and named after Shakespeare’s famous play. Admire the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, a Gothic masterpiece inspired by Notre Dame, later converted into a mosque during Ottoman rule. Walk along the city’s defensive walls for stunning panoramic views.
Next, step back in time at the ancient city of Salamis, once the largest city in Cyprus. According to legend, it was founded by Teucer, mentioned in Homer’s Iliad. Finally, take in the eerie sight of Varosha, the infamous “ghost town” left abandoned due to Cyprus’ turbulent history.

Activity itinerary

Salamis
  • 25m
  • Admission ticket not included
Salamis is considered one of the main attractions of Northern Cyprus. This ancient city-state is a real museum complex, on the territory of which you can find many ruins and tombs of kings and noble residents of ancient Salamis.
Famagusta Walled City
  • 20m
Famagusta’s city walls don’t just surround the old town — they shape its soul, with massive stone bastions that rise from quiet streets like reminders of another era. Climb to the top and the past feels close: cannons may be gone, but the view still guards the coast.
Othello Castle
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
Othello Castle may be small, but it packs in centuries of stories — from Venetian guards to echoes of Shakespeare’s famous play. Climb its sturdy towers, peer through old cannon slits, and imagine when this quiet corner once guarded the gates of a mighty port.
Famagusta
  • 1h 20m
Famagusta’s center feels like a quiet mix of past and present — faded stone buildings, market stalls, and the sound of church bells blending with the buzz of scooters. It’s a place to explore slowly, where every corner has a bit of history and a spot to sit in the sun.
Ghost Town Famagusta
  • 40m
Varosha, once a thriving resort, now stands as a silent reminder of another time, with empty streets and abandoned buildings. Although the area remains off-limits, it offers a glimpse into the past and reflection on the island’s complex history.
