Visit the St. Barnabas Monastery, now a museum preserving early Christian artifacts and the saint’s tomb. Walk through the haunting streets of Varosha Ghost Town, a once-glamorous resort frozen in time since the 1974 division of Cyprus.

Admire the Gothic beauty of the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, originally the 14th-century St. Nicholas Cathedral, renowned for its resemblance to Notre-Dame. Finally, climb the towers of Othello Castle, a medieval fortress guarding the old harbor, for panoramic views of Famagusta and the sea.
