http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famagusta
Famagusta (Greek: Ammochostos (Αμμόχωστος); Turkish: Gazimağusa or Mağusa) is a city on the east coast of Cyprus and is capital of the Famagusta District. It is located in a bay between Capes Greco and Eloea, east of Nicosia, and possesses the deepest harbour in the island. Since the 1974 Turkish invasion the city has resided in the de facto Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (recognised only by Turkey). The old tourist quarter of Varosha is abandoned pending a settlement of the Cyprus dispute.

| Ammochostos district
http://www.kypros.org/Occupied_Cyprus/lapathos/
All Greek inhabitants of Lapathos village are refugees since 1974. They were forced out of Lapathos by Turkish military forces that invaded the island of CYPRUS. In their effort to change the demographics of the occupied areas, the Turks changed the name of Lapathos, to "Bogazici", which means "passing". The name Bogazici was given by Turkish Cypriots that were living in Agios Theodoros village Larnaca district before 1974, and moved to Lapathos, after the 1974 Turkish invasion.

http://wiki.phantis.com/index.php/Ammochostos_province
Ammochostos province takes up the eastern third of Cyprus, including the Karpasia peninsula. It is known as a holiday hot spot with several resorts in the area that attract tourists from all over Europe. Two-thirds of the province is currently under Turkish military occupation and for this reason, Paralimni is currently serving as its capital instead of Ammochostos.

| The Golden Beaches

Ammochostos (Famagusta) with its superb golden sandy beaches, has become a big draw for sunseekers. But this part of the island traditionally remains the market garden of Cyprus, with the well-known Cyprus potato being the prominent crop.
