Varosha, known in Turkish as Maraş, was the main hotel and beach district of Famagusta (Gazimağusa) until 1974, when it was fenced off and its residents left. It stood empty for decades.
Since 2020 some streets have been open to visitors, who can walk or cycle past the empty hotels, houses and shops down to the beach. The rest of the district remains closed. The walled old town is about 1.7 km to the north-west.
