Archaeology
One of the island's prime and most extensive archaeological sites and the most significant
of the 10 ancient city kingdoms in Cyprus, Ancient Salamis is located here and should not
be missed.
Wild Nature
The Karpas Peninsula is wonderfully wild and isolated and where you can enjoy hiking,
cycling and swimming surrounded by a uniquely beautiful landscape.
Architectural Legacy
Once seen, never forgotten, the historical centre of Famagusta is an extraordinary, albeit
harrowing, landscape of Frankish and Venetian ruins, with gap-toothed frontages and loom-
ing facades.
