cyprus famagusta reben-txt-1

The city of Famagusta stretches from north to south with the sea on its east side.

The harbour extends along most of its length.

It is formed by a ring of reefs connected by dikes; on the rocky islets which act as a natural breakwater for the harbour there used to be a spring of fresh water (31) and the gallows (30).

In the outer roadstead there are good anchorages to north and east.
