This bus station (Gazimağusa Otobüs Terminali) is located at the main traffic circle, near the Rivettina/Akkule bastion. It is linked to Nicosia-Nord and Kyrenia/Girne, to Ercan airport with the Kibhas company (kibhas.org) and to the village of Gialousa/Yeni Erenköy (Karpas peninsula). For the archaeological site of Salamis in Cyprus, take a dolmuş to Gialousa/Yeni Erenköy and ask the driver to stop at "Salamis Harabeleri".

This commercial port (Gazimağusa Limanı, Λιμάνι της Αμμοχώστου/Limani tis Ammochostou) is linked by ferry to the Turkish port of Mersin. The Akgünler Denizcilik company (akgunlerdenizcilik.com) operates around three routes a week, and the 9-hour journey is overnight. Reputed to be the best in Cyprus in the Middle Ages, the port was redeveloped by the British in 1904, notably with the creation of a breakwater jutting out into the sea. Since 1974, as a result of the embargo, it has been used mainly for the exchange of goods with Turkey.
