Description
The Ammochostos (Famagusta) region is the eastern part of Cyprus, known for its beautiful beaches, charming villages and important historical monuments. Its capital is the city of Famagusta, which was once one of the most important commercial and cultural centres of the island. Today, the city is partially abandoned, remaining in the so-called buffer zone under UN control, due to the Turkish invasion in 1974, which led to the division of Cyprus.
The Ammochostos region is a popular tourist destination, especially for beach and water sports enthusiasts. There are beautiful beaches along the coast, and the region is also home to numerous archaeological sites, including ancient Salamis and the magnificent medieval city of Famagusta with its Venetian walls and Gothic churches. Ammochostos is also an area rich in history and tradition, combining influences from different cultures – Greek, Turkish, Byzantine and Venetian.
