Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque
We travelled from Salamis the few miles into Famagusta, where we spent quite some time driving around trying to get our bearings and finding somewhere to park, as a result of which we didn't have long to explore it. However, we briefly went in to Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, formerly St. Nicholas Cathedral.
From Famagusta we took the main road back to Kyrenia, which took us about a couple of hours.

Salamis
We visited Salamis on our return journey from the Karpas Peninsula, and spent a couple of hours there, although we could have spent much longer if we had had the time, as it occupies a huge area.
According to legend, it was founded by Teukros, a Trojan warrior mentioned in Homer's Ilead. At one time, 120,000 people lived there, but it was abandoned in the 7th century A.D. after suffering an earthquake, attacks fom Arabs and the silting up of its harbour.
Only a very small part of the total site has been excavated.
For its history and a description, go to cypnet
