About this spot
Famagusta, on Cyprus' east coast, is a historic port city in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Known for its medieval architecture, such as St. Nicholas Cathedral and Othello Castle, it has a rich cultural heritage. Famagusta includes the "ghost town" Varosha, a once-popular tourist area abandoned after the 1974 Turkish invasion. Today, visitors can explore its landmarks and beaches.
