Explore the historic East Coast of Cyprus with a visit to Famagusta, a port city rich in heritage. Stroll through the Old Town and discover its fascinating past. Visit Othello Castle, built in the 14th century by the Lusignan dynasty and named after Shakespeare’s famous play. Admire the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, a Gothic masterpiece inspired by Notre Dame, later converted into a mosque during Ottoman rule. Walk along the city’s defensive walls for stunning panoramic views. Next, step back in time at the ancient city of Salamis, once the largest city in Cyprus.
