Discovering Famagusta, the ‘Ghost Town’ from Paphos

Famagusta was once a bustling holiday resort that was abandoned during the Turkish Invasion of 1974. Once the richest city in the world seven hundred years ago, the ancient walled city is now a ghost town, a shell of its former self.

Cross the UN Patrolled border (the Green Line) into the Turkish area of Northern Cyprus and visit two of the north's most famous historical sites, the ancient city of Salamis and Othello’s Tower.

Salamis, the ancient Roman city, was the capital of Cyprus in 1100 BC. See its well-preserved Baths and theatre. It was buried in sand before it was discovered. Othello’s Tower once guarded the city of Famagusta
