Famagusta Holiday Overview


Famagusta, originally a small commercial port and fishing town on the Mediterranean, flourished during the Lusignan period, becoming an important trading centre between the Middle East and Europe. Its importance and wealth in the Middle Ages was displayed in its 365 churches, built to prevent the wrath of God from falling upon this prosperous city. Massively fortified by the Venetians, the old city, still surrounded by its ancient walls, provides the backdrop for today’s bustling city.

Quieter than Kyrenia, Famagusta nevertheless has a wealth of colourful restaurants, cafes and bars where you can sample the delicious local cuisine. Despite its large student population, it is relatively traditional in atmosphere. Explore the narrow streets of the old quarter with its maze of tiny shops or visit the Citadel and ‘Othello’s Tower’, said to have been the inspiration for Shakespeare’s play.

"We arrived home from Fethiye on Monday, and would just like to thank you and Akin for planning an amazing trip. The gulet was fantastic and as usual, the Ece Saray Hotel was lovely. The staff there are some of the best we have come across, and the breakfasts were great. We are looking ahead to 2023 and were wondering if you could arrange a quote for a similar trip."  Sue and Mike Fedeczko - 28 September 2022
