The area is also steeped in rich history, Farmugusta seems to have had its heyday in the 13th century when Christians fleeing from Syria and Palestine settled there and developed it into a wealthy city under the Frankish Lusignan dynasty, which ruled from 1192. It declined after a riot in the 14th century and by 1489, when the Venetians took over, it had seen better times. They redeveloped it, building a massive wall round the old town, which remains there to this day.
Just a little further south is the wild, undeveloped peninsula of Cape Greco. A wealth of rare flora and fauna, dramatic cliffs with sea caves and the most incredible views make this area a very popular place to spend the day. This stunningly beautiful coast with its nature reserve is known around the world for snorkelling and scuba diving, and is also a government protected conservation area.
