Walk through Famagusta’s Ghost Town, then continue to Othello Tower and the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. The route brings together the Ghost Town Palm Beach attraction, the Church of St. George of the Greeks, Venetian palace ruins and Ravelin. Inside Famagusta, Suriçi, you will also encounter the Church of Saint George of Latins, the Lion Of Famagusta, Carmelite Church, Templar Ve Hospitalier Kilisesi and St Symeon Church. This walk is worth taking for its focused sequence of churches, fortifications and ruined places rather than a general tour of the city.
