Famagusta Tourist Attractions and Sightseeing

The tourist attractions available in Famagusta are quite different to nearby Ayia Napa, being considerably less touristy and more for the native Cypriots. North Cyprus is well known for its extensive gambling and innumerable casinos, and Famagusta is certainly no exception to this.

Scuba diving is one attraction for both tourists and locals, and some superb Mediterranean dive spots are just a short boat trip away. While you’re staying in Famagusta, do take a look at the ghostly, deserted Varosia (Maras) strip, before heading to Protaras to enjoy a ride onboard their open-top Red Bus Tour.

Gambling and Casinos

The five-star Salamis Bay Conti Hotel and Casino is where the main gambling action takes place and this venue ranks amongst the best on the whole island, with almost 150 different slot machines and around 20 individual gaming tables, including blackjack, roulette and craps. Further popular Cypriot casinos are to be found at the Palm Beach Hotel and Casino, and the relatively nearby Kaya Artemis Resort.
Open hours: daily – hours vary
Admission: free

Scuba Diving in Famagusta

Scuba diving is an especially popular attraction in this part of Cyprus and a number of enticing and truly exceptional dive spots are conveniently located within the Famagusta area, both to the north and around the Karpas Peninsula, and to the south-west, between Ayia Napa and Larnaca, where the renowned Zenobia shipwreck is located. The Karpas area also contains more than its fair share of shipwrecks and underwater attractions, where if you are fortunate, you may even encounter the remains of some sunken amphorae, as well as the occasional barracuda, tuna or even a turtle.
Open hours: daily – seasonal variations

Varosha, Varosia, Maras

Perhaps the most haunting and downright weird tourist attraction on Cyprus, the abandoned Maras district (known in Greek as the ‘Varosia’) really is a sight worth seeing. The Varosia is a lingering reminder of the relatively recent year of 1974, when the Turkish invasion took place and this whole area was barricaded off with barbed wire, becoming something of a no-man’s land. The beach and crumbing high-rise tower blocks remain unused and make the Varosia area of Famagusta appear rather like a ghost town, with just a tiny portion of this former leading beach resort being still occupied. Tourists with their own set of wheels may like to drive along the western side of Maras and peer through the fence, although do bear in mind that photography is not permitted.

Escape to the Green Heart of Cyprus

Govisit Cyprus
Green cyprus

Cyprus may be advertised for its sea, sand and sun, but there is so much natural beauty at higher altitudes that it is a shame to not soak it all in especially when the mountains offer a great get-away from the heat.

All the beauty of the mountains will be showcased during the tenth annual Aromatic and Healing Herbs of Cyprus conference and exhibition over the weekend at Platres’ cultural centre.

The conference and exhibition, organised by the community of Platres in collaboration with the Troodos Network of Thematic centres, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation, and the Troodos Regional Board of Tourism, aims to promote all the aromatic and healing herbs of Cyprus, herb producers and herbalists and small and medium companies engaged in the production of herbal teas, essential oils, cosmetics, wellness and beauty products based on herbs.

The event will open on Saturday at 10am with the orientation of Troodos Botanical Gardens and Organised Herbal walk. The day then moves on to 5pm with the official opening of the exhibition and conference, followed by a look back on the ten successful aromatic and healing years that the annual event has shared so far.

A number of talks will then follow by local herbalists and producers. This year, the conference will also include a presentation by the MedFest-Interreg-Med Project, which aims at preserving cultural heritage through gastronomy and herbs to create sustainable tourist destinations.

There will also be cooking classes with Istrian herbs and local products at 7pm and a music concert to end the day at 8.30pm at the main square, where the Laikon Odeon Estoudiantina will perform, conducted by Christos Alexandrou.

Sunday morning’s talks will be in Greek, starting from 10.30am and the following three talks, from 4pm until 5pm will be in English. The Greek talks are under the general title of The Most Beneficial Trees of the Forest and will include speeches by researcher and author Dr Kyriaki Zanettou, herbalist and author George Ellinas and a representative of the forest department.

The English talks are under the general title A Journey to the Mystical World of Herbs and will include a talk about medicinal cannabis by researcher and author Susan Wormwood and foot treatment and grounding meditation with rose and lavender essential oils with yoga teacher Effie Matafia-Ayurveda.
During the event, 35 exhibitors will showcase their products and let you buy some to take home.

Aromatic and Healing Herbs of Cyprus Annual Conference and Exhibition
Exhibition and conference on aromatic and healing herbs of Cyprus. June 2-3. Platres Cultural Centre, Nicosia. Saturday: 10am-8.30pm, Sunday: 10.30am-7pm. Tel: 99-427980
