Charming and cozy atmosphere. Our place is close to restaurants, beaches, family-friendly activities, public transport and nightlife. You’ll love our family-run place because of the location, the people, and the ambiance. Our place is good for couples, adventurers, and business travelers. We also have Cyprus Village Museum in a house in the garden of the hotel. There are a lot of antiques there. It would be a pleasure for us to host you in our family run place Altun Tabya, my father opened in 1973. Since 2010 my home was closed, my family re-opened our hotel in July 2016 again, to keep that traditional home open for everybody. We are located in the heart of the Castle and all historical places are within walking distance. As the hotel has the entrance in one of our nice small streets here in Famagusta, you can enjoy your breakfast or evening drink in a very charming and cozy area.

Once upon a time Famagusta was the most important port city on the island. The naturally deep harbour attracted ships, merchants and traders from all over the eastern Mediterranean and further. It was during this time that the region began to flourish with wealth, and the idea that wealth could be measured by the churches they built inspired these rich merchants to build a multitude of them. Famagusta came to be known as "the district of churches” – legend has it that at one time the area had a church for every day of the year. Today the area boasts some of the most impressive medieval ruins anywhere in the world. The contrasting Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque is fascinating for its gothic cathedral exterior as it was once a church, which has since been transformed into a mosque on the inside. A walk through the walled city offers wonderful insight the history of the area, like a crumbling postcard to the past. Salamis is a home to some fantastically preserved Roman ruins, including statues, standing columns, theatre and baths. But, of course, the area is as famous for its spectacular beaches as its rich history so there is really something for everyone. The Karpaz Peninsula is an area of unparalleled, natural beauty and must be seen.
