Bogaz is a beautiful sleepy fishing village on the southern edge of the Karpas peninsula with a small population of approximately 6800 people . Fishing boats sail in and out of the harbour all day and the day's catch is sold on the quayside to the local restaurant owners and locals hence there are several good fish tavernas from which to choose between many offering the catch of the day. There are also several bars, supermarket and shopsThere are a number of lovely sandy beach here and all along the coastline going up to Famagusta . Bafra beach, just outside Bogaz, is one of the best beaches without a sign of a hotel and hardly of any houses.
Bogaz is well situated to explore the area as it is only a few miles north of Iskele and 25km north of Famagusta and is on the edge of the Karpas.
