Famagusta – explore the walled city of Cyprus with a private guide

The city 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 from a small village to a town came in 1192 with the onset of Lusignan rule. It was during this period that Famagusta 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.

Famagusta at Cyprus – pics from our private guided Tour

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 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 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.

New Pics from Bellapais Castle-Monastary are online

Bellapais near Kyrenia in North Cyprus is always worth a visit. This monastery is enthroned on the mountains like a castle.

In addition, there is an impressive view of the coast and small alleys, shops and restaurants in the old village that are well worth a visit.
