Frequently asked questions about Famagusta

Answers to the most common questions about a holiday in Famagusta.

Where is Famagusta?

Famagusta is a resort on the south-eastern coast of Cyprus, in the Famagusta region, about 50 km from Larnaca airport. It is famous for white sandy beaches, crystal-clear water and a buzzing nightlife.

How much does a holiday in Famagusta cost?

A week in Famagusta for 2 people in the 2026 season averages £700-1300 per person with flight and a 3-4* hotel. Off-season (April, October) prices drop by 30-40%.

When is the best time to visit Famagusta?

The sweet spots are May-June and September-October — warm sea, fewer crowds, lower prices. July and August are peak season with temperatures above 32°C.

Are there great beaches in Famagusta?

Famagusta has some of the finest beaches in the Mediterranean: Nissi Beach (Blue Flag), Konnos Bay (a cove inside Cape Greco park), Macronissos, Grecian Bay and Sandy Bay. All of them with white-gold sand and turquoise water.

How do I get to Famagusta from the UK?

Direct flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh to Larnaca (LCA) — about 4h 30min. From the airport a transfer to Famagusta by taxi (~€50), shuttle (~€10) or bus (~€3) — 45 minutes.

Is Famagusta worth visiting in winter?

Winter sees Famagusta switch to a quieter mode — most clubs and some hotels close. But 18-22°C in the day, sunshine and low prices make it a solid bet for a warm half-term break with Cape Greco walks and Cypriot food.

Where should I go out in Famagusta at night?

Famagusta is the party capital of Cyprus — clubs along Ayia Napa Square (Castle Club, Soho, Fire Club, Pamboo) run from 11pm until 6am. July and August host international music festivals.
