Famagusta District

The Famagusta District extends across the eastern part of Cyprus, encompassing numerous towns, villages, and stretches of Mediterranean coastline along its boundaries.

The district's strategic position made it a central Mediterranean trading point from ancient times through the Medieval period, connecting merchants from Europe and the Middle East.

The district includes both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities, with traditional festivals, local markets, and regional customs reflecting this multicultural heritage.

The southern section of Famagusta District connects to major highways, providing direct access to Nicosia and Larnaca through a network of well-maintained roads.

Within Famagusta District, Cape Greco presents limestone sea caves, natural rock formations, and Mediterranean flora across its protected natural reserve.
