In 2016 we re-launched and became the FPN - Famagusta Public Network,  a website dedicated to Eastern Cyprus, with local events, information and the largest online directory dedicated to the region. 


We have information on living in Cyprus, and visiting the east coast resorts with pages dedicated to Holidays and Weddings in Cyprus, and a business directory with over 2000 listings all serving the Famagusta (Ammochostos ) area.
