Located on the east coast of Cyprus, Famagusta is a popular tourist destination thanks to its vibrant nightlife and lively culture. A region of endless important historical sites and more natural beauty than a handful of neighbouring resorts combined, Famagusta presents a wonderfully accurate and unspoiled window into the hidden history of Cyprus. Along with boasting an extremely strong local economy based largely around day-trippers and tourism, Famagusta is also home to the country's largest university and thus has a thriving student population. Cyprus as a whole may have taken a battering over recent years by way of both property values and demand, but things are slowly but surely beginning to show signs of life once again.
