5 Nature & Parks in Famagusta That You Shouldn't Miss

April 22, 2022 Jana Sager

Famagusta /ˌfæməˈɡʊstə, ˌfɑː-/ (Greek: Αμμόχωστος locally [aˈmːoxostos]; Turkish: Mağusa [mɑˈɰusɑ], or Gazimağusa [gɑːzimɑˈɰusɑ]) is a city on the east coast of Cyprus. It is located east of Nicosia and possesses the deepest harbour of the island. During the medieval period (especially under the maritime republics of Genoa and Venice), Famagusta was the island's most important port city and a gateway to trade with the ports of the Levant, from where the Silk Road merchants carried their goods to Western Europe. The old walled city and parts of the modern town presently fall within the de facto Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in Gazimağusa District, of which it is the capital. It is also notable as the birthplace of the eponymous hero of the Renaissance proto-novel Fortunatus.

Wonderful drive with amazing scenery, stop off at some of the village shops and buy carrot/apples - feeding the wild donkeys is a wonderful experience. Bring swimwear and stop at one of the beautiful beaches on the way back

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

Cyclops Cave is good for exploring on foot or from the water (via scuba diving under/around it). The setting is beautiful, overlooking the sea, and sunsets are lovely here. It's also fun to walk around--and inside of--during the day.

We have just discovered this beach. I have one word to describe the beach itself ‘wonderful’! The facilities and restaurants around it are not too bad. I just don’t recommend you to visit it on a windy day.
