Famagusta Port is the only port of Cyprus and one of the most reinforced ports in the Mediterranean. The main development of Famagusta coincides with the Lusignan period. Those who settled in the city from the Near East brought a new power and dynamism to the city dwellers with their culture and values. According to the last census, the city has a population of 69,741.
Eastern Mediterranean University is located in Famagusta. Famagusta's golden beaches are among the best known beaches in the world. Every year, the International Famagusta Culture and Arts Festival is organized by Famagusta Municipality and Eastern Mediterranean University.
Famagusta is a historical city, a port city and a regional center. The current position of the city of Famagusta is a continuation of its historical mission in accordance with the current conditions. The fact that Cyprus is a two-region island with its current position has not received anything from the importance of Famagusta. Famagusta is home to the largest port of the TRNC and the only Free Port, not only in the economic sense, but also as a port in communication, science, technology, culture and similar areas.
