The city Famagusta Cyprus was founded around 274 BC by Ptolemy II after Salamis had been severely damaged by an earthquake. Arsinoe was described in the first century BC by Strabon in his Geographica as a “fishing town”. It remained a small fishing village for a long time. Later, when Salamis was gradually cleared during the Arab invasion under Muawiyah I, it developed into a small port.
The turning point for Famagusta Cyprus from a small village to a town came in 1192 with the onset of Lusignan rule. It was during this period that Famagusta Cyprus developed into a fully fledged town. It became increasingly important in the Eastern Mediterranean because of its natural harbour and the walls that protected its inner city. Its population began to grow.

Varosha Ghost Town is one of the most striking and emotional places in Cyprus — a district where modern history can be seen rather than read about. Situated along the coast of Famagusta, Varosha Ghost Town once represented luxury, tourism prosperity, and the bright future of Cyprus as a Mediterranean holiday destination.
During the 1950s, 60s and early 70s, Varosha Ghost Town developed rapidly into the island’s most fashionable seaside resort.

Nowhere else in Cyprus do so many eras meet so closely as in Famagusta Cyprus. Behind massive Venetian walls lies a city shaped by crusaders, merchants, and empires.
Northern Cyprus is much less visited than Greek Cyprus in the south, but offers just as many sights. One of these is the walled old town of Famagusta Cyprus with a truly large number of very well preserved medieval buildings. Famagusta, in Turkish Gazimagusa, is located on the east coast of Cyprus, just over the border and within easy reach of us.
During our Famagusta Cyprus tour we will guide you live through the interesting history of Famagusta and show you some of the most important sights. We offer this tour in combination with a visit to the ancient city of Salamis.
