Famagusta (Gazimagusa)
The Famagusta region of Northern Cyprus has so much to offer. From the fascinating old walled city with its numerous shops, restaurants and bars then driving north past the ruins of ancient Salamis passing miles of sandy beaches coming to the picturesque fishing harbour at Bogaz and then onwards to the magnificent Karpaz peninsula where some exciting developments are taking place firstly at Bafra with 10 new themed hotels planned for construction and then on to the Karpaz Gate Marina. All this and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, yes, Famagusta seems to offer everything.
Famagusta is one of the most important, greatly fortified ports on the shores of
the Mediterranean. To the north of Famagusta lie the fabulous ruins of Salamis. This
one great city is believed to have been founded in the 11th century BC and after
the influences of the many conquering nations, notably the Romans, the city was finally
abandoned in 648 AD following the combined catastrophes of earthquake and raids by
Arab pirates, when the population moved to Famagusta.The spectacular ruins give a
fascinating insight into long-lost civilizations and include a magnificent amphitheatre,
Roman baths, a gymnasium and royal tombs. Nowadays the city comes alive at night
with trendy cafes, bars and restaurants offering international cuisine as well as
the traditional Cypriot food. Clubs and restaurants have traditional music as well
as performers traveling from further afield to satisfy the tastes of all age groups
The eastern coastal area of Gazimagusa Bay is one long, very fine beach with excellent facilities and clean, safe bathing and snorkelling. This harbour town is a fantastic destination for summer holidays.
Exciting developments
There are some new and exciting developments in this region and despite a global recession in property work continues on the planned developments mentioned below.
Bafra – New Resort hotels
Investments made jointly from the private sector and the government in the Bafra region are designed to boost tourism in the area. Plans for no less than 16 five star hotels, a shopping centre and enlarged desalination facilities will make this into the ‘Las Vegas’ of the Eastern Mediterranean’. The hotels will be designed along various themes with such names as The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, The Coliseum, The Kaya Artimis, and Noah’s Ark etc. The 750 bed Kaya Artemis is already completed as is the Noah’s Ark Hotel, both are impressive and it certainly makes a statement about the future of tourism in this part of Northern Cyprus. New roads are being built to reduce the travel time from both Kyrenia and Famagusta to this region.
As if that were not enough the new Karpaz Gate Marina is now open and operational. Located just north of the village of Yeni Erenkoy and just 40 minutes away from Iskele. It is large enough for 350 plus vessels, including Super Yachts of over 65 meters. Restrictions on sailing along the territorial waters of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus have now been lifted which means yachts will sail to this new and almost only available berthing spot in the Eastern Mediterranean. This will further add value to properties and investments in the area .
We can help you with introductions to builders and tradesmen who could turn this into a really nice property in a convenient city location. It can be a lot easier than you might think.
