About Famagusta
Famagusta, Gazimağusa in Turkish, is the historic port of the east coast. Its old town, still enclosed by Venetian walls, holds some of the finest Gothic buildings in the eastern Mediterranean.

Land Gate
The old main entrance on the landward side, guarded by the Ravelin bastion.
-
Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque
Built around 1300 as St Nicholas Cathedral, where Lusignan kings were crowned kings of Jerusalem; a mosque since 1571.
-
Othello's Tower
The harbour citadel, named after the play Shakespeare set in a Cypriot port.
-
Gothic church ruins
Scattered across the old town, from St George of the Greeks to the Twin Churches.

Good to know
Four things worth knowing before you set off.
-
What to bring
Your passport and a valid full driving licence, national or international. Drivers must be at least 25, and the minimum rental is three days.
-
Drive on the left
The same as in the UK.
-
North Cyprus only
Our insurance is valid in North Cyprus only, so the car cannot be driven across the border to the South.
-
Landing in the South?
Flying into Larnaca or Paphos? We arrange a paid transfer to North Cyprus, where we hand over your car.
More questions
What fuel level do I return the car with?
The same level you received it with. There is nothing to pre-pay, and if the car comes back with less fuel we charge the difference at the pump price.
What if I want to keep the car longer?
Message us in advance and we will extend the booking. After your agreed return time there is a three-hour grace period at no charge; beyond that, a full extra day is charged.
What if the car breaks down?
Call our roadside assistance line. If it is a mechanical fault, we repair the car or bring you a replacement at no charge.
