The Region
Famagusta
Famagusta is a fascinating medieval walled city with oodles of charm and lots to explore
Thanks to its troubled history Famagusta is in fact two towns rolled into one. The ancient walled city of Famagusta is much as it was over five hundred years ago when Ottoman siege engines lay beyond its walls. Meanwhile the modern day town and port flourishes
Seven hundred years ago Famagusta was the richest city on earth; famed throughout the world for its mercantile magnificence. Famagusta's economy boomed under Venetian rule, fed by trade routes that spanned the globe from England to India. In fact, the city was so well known that Shakespeare chose it as the setting for his play Othello. Famagusta's new wealth spurred on a frenzy of medieval building, many of which can be seen today, including: the Cathedral of St Nicolas, numerous houses and the remains of the fortified citadel. However jealous eyes watched the city and in 1571 the Ottamans invadedand laid seige to Famagusta and eventially the people of Famnagusta had to surrender or starve to death. Famagusta soon slid into decline to become a remote 'backwater posting' that normally signaled the end of an official's career. Ironically this neglect preserved the city. Today the shell of the walled city survives; an impressive remnder of a colourful past.The old city is surrounded by one of the best preserved Venetian fortifications in the Eastern Mediterranean. There are plenty of medieval/renaissance buildings that can be visited. Unfortunately most of them were severely damaged during the Turkish siege of the city in 1571. Many cannon balls can still be seen in the fortification walls as well as in the walls of these buildings. Specially noteworthy are the Cathedral of St. Nicholas (converted to a mosque after the Ottoman conquest and re-named Lala Mustafa Pa a Mosque) and St. George of the Greeks church with its frescoes. There is plenty more to see if you stroll around the old town, where there is something of interest in almost every corner of the old town, which has been recently renovated and retains much of its historical appeal.
Famagusta offers a variety of shops from clothing and gifts to home stores, the Old Town has a number of specialised souvenir shops for those looking for traditional handcrafted items. There is a wide variety of restaurants both in the old city as well as in the modern city. Those in the old city are mostly located around the Nam k Kemal Square and in the modern town, most restaurants and bars are located on the "Salamis Road". Famagusta Quayside (locally known as Palm Beach) has become very popular over the years since the restoration of the area. There are a number of cafés and restaurants to choose from offering drinks and snacks and a fantastic sandy beach with good facilities and water sports in the summer months . Close by is the buffer zone between the north and south, a deserted ghost town. This part of Famagusta is locked in time and is a melancholy symbol of an island divided. It is now possible to cross freely into Southern Cyprus, you can cross the green line at the nearby border crossing located inside the British sovereign base at Agios Nikolaos.

About Busy Bees Estate Agents, Bogaz

Ataturk Caddesi, No.1 Soner T.Guder Apt. Bogaz Iskele, North Cyprus, Mersin 10 Turkey

Many estate agents engaged in property sales in North Cyprus are based in the Kyrenia region, on the north coast of the island. This is partly because property developers were quick to realise the potential for Mediterranean style villas and apartments in that part of North Cyprus which had been popular with Europeans, in particular the British, for a long time. North Cyprus property sales were boosted by a demand for holiday apartments and villas in North Cyprus where seaside property with sea views was, and still is, a realistic possibility. The estate agents in North Cyprus are able to offer a valuable service to those seeking advice on buying property in North Cyprus but engaging a good local solicitor is always highly recommended when negotiations are under way.

Busy Bees Estate Agents is a fairly young company based on the edge of the Karpaz Peninsula in the picturesque fishing village of Bogaz. This location was chosen because it is on the south facing coast of North Cyprus between the Karpaz Peninsula and the town of Famagusta. This area is seen by many property developers as a prime area for investments in property and some attractive off plan deals can be passed on to our clients. The growing popularity of this wonderful part of the island of Cyprus is reflected in the multi-million pound development at Bafra; plus a planned new marina. Both are likely to enhance the value of any investment in property in this area.

We have staff fluent in Turkish and English who live in the locality and have excellent business relationships with the local professionals such as architects, North Cyprus solicitors, property developers and builders. Busy Bees are pleased to offer advice to those considering buying property in North Cyprus and can obtain answers to many questions through this network of contacts and associates. Advice and help is also available to those interested in land for sale in North Cyprus where buying a plot of land on which to build is quite an attractive option. See our page on “Buy and Build”.

The Karpaz Peninsula is an area protected from over development due to its status as effectively a nature reserve. Some permission has been granted for selective building of property on the Karpaz Peninsular and Busy Bees have the local knowledge and contacts to be in a position to help clients wishing to purchase in this delightful part of the island. We have a large portfolio of North Cyprus villas, bungalows and apartments, including some superb penthouse apartments, to offer our buying clients and we offer a friendly, professional service to our clients wishing to sell. Please visit our North Cyprus Property Centre and use our “information request” form for further information on any of our villas, apartments, penthouses or land for sale in North Cyprus.
