The beach town of Famagusta before 1974
buzzed with life, while the fishing villages of
Protaras and Agia Napa further south along the
coast were sleepy backwaters.
PARALIMNI HOTELS Nowadays it’s the other way round. The once top
class beach hotels and apartment buildings
lining the golden Famagusta sands today
stand empty and deserted, a virtual
ghost town as a result of the Turkish
occupation of the island, while Agia
Napa, with its fabulous sandy
beaches and popular night clubs,
and Protaras, with its hundreds of
windmills, attract holidaymakers
from all over the world.
