Sixteen miles along the coast from Famagusta, as you head towards the Karpaz Peninsula, you will find the small, friendly village of Bogaz. This quiet fishing village has a small number of restaurants, bars, and coffee bars and a long sandy beach. On the hilltop above the village stands the ruin of Kantara Castle at the highest point of the mountain range, known as the Five Finger Mountains. Built in the Byzantine period, the castle is only accessible by foot through a rocky pathway up the steep slope but the splendid view of the coastline and surrounding areas is well worth the effort. In the evening Harbour becomes live with its restaurants, bars and coffee bars. An ideal place to mix with the locals.
