Some info has been automatically translated.
Our house is new renovated with characteristic of Famagusta’s historical characteristic. Famagusta is home to many cultures and our house is in the heart of the walled city-Famagusta. It takes only few minutes to walk to city center, the square, beach and port. You’ll love our house because of the comfy beds, the kitchen, the coziness, the historical atmosphere. My place is good for couples, business travelers, families(with kids), history lovers. It has two bedrooms with a bathroom.

The space
Sixty years old Templar Guest House which is located at the backyard of the Templars and Hospitallers Churches and in the heart of the historical city, aims to make Famagusta experience between past and present.
The Twin Churches -Templars and Hospitallers-
Two small churches of similar width stand only 3 meters apart in the center of the city. Both are single-vessel naves terminated by semicircular apses and appear to date to the late 13th century. A shield on the south church associated with the knights of St. John identifies these churches as part of a Hospitaller complex. Enlart speculated that the south church was the original structure, possibly built by the Templars, who had possession of the island after Richard the Lionheart gave it to them. When the Hospitallers later took over the Templar's properties, they deemed the original church to be too small and, rather than adding onto it as the Nestorians had done in their church, the Hospitallers built a new one next to it.

Guest access
Templar Guesthouse has Templar and Hospitalier churches just 50 meters away. These places serve as a cafe-bar during the day and night. We are 150 meters from the square and St Nicholas Cathedral (Lala Mustafa Paşa Mosque), which is located in the center of the city of Suriçi and our most magnificent work.

Other things to note
Templar Guesthouse opens on a pedestrian path. There is no traffic passing in front of it, and free parking is available right near our backyard.
