- Salamis - The ancient ruins of Salamis stand as one of Cyprus’s most significant archaeological sites. Originating in the 11th century BC, Salamis was a bustling city under Greek and Roman dominion. Today, visitors can wander through the remains of Roman baths, a grand amphitheater, gymnasiums, and streets lined with columns. This site offers a remarkable glimpse into classical antiquity and the architectural brilliance of ancient civilizations.
- St Barnabas Monastery and Icon Museum - This 18th-century monastery, dedicated to St. Barnabas, the patron saint of Cyprus and an early Christian missionary, now functions as a museum. It showcases a collection of Orthodox Christian icons and archaeological artifacts from nearby Salamis. Behind the monastery lies the tomb of St. Barnabas, a significant pilgrimage destination.
- Ghost Town Famagusta - Varosha was a glamorous resort town in the 1970s, favored by celebrities and international tourists. After the 1974 division of Cyprus, it was deserted and remained fenced off for decades. Recently, parts of Varosha have been reopened, allowing visitors to stroll through hauntingly empty hotels and streets frozen in time.
- Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque - Originally constructed in the 14th century as a Gothic cathedral, it was transformed into a mosque by the Ottomans in 1571. The structure resembles the Notre-Dame Cathedral in France, featuring pointed arches, rose windows, and flying buttresses. It is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the Eastern Mediterranean.
- Othello Castle - Named after Shakespeare’s tragic hero, Othello Castle is a medieval fortress initially built by the Lusignans and later fortified by the Venetians. It safeguarded the old harbor of Famagusta and served as a crucial military bastion. Visitors can ascend the towers for sweeping views of the sea and city.
