Nightlife in Famagusta, North Cyprus

The big hotels in Famagusta are the main centres for nightlife in the town, beyond small local bars and restaurants.

South of the city, the Bilfer Palm Beach Hotel is the last hotel before the UN buffer zone and ghost town of Varosha. The hotel offers a casino and disco, plus restaurants and bars. It's also a fascinating place to visit, since just beyond the hotel the UN buffer zone starts, and you can still see the decaying remains of former luxury hotels on the other side of the fence in the former resort of Varosha.

Lions Garden

Lions Garden is the biggest entertainment place in Northern Cyprus. Lions Garden Disco organise concerts, parties and international shows. The light and sound system are exceptional.
