Helpfulness
If you don't have a rental car and if you are not in the mood for a long walk, you'll have to take a taxi in Famagusta because there is no public transportation. The taxis fix their prices for the trips in the city center but it is not announced or written anywhere. You are expected to "know" this. For summer 2011, the fare fixing was 7 TL for travels in Famagusta and 10 TL for travels to Glapsides Beach.
Unique Suggestions: If you realize the taxi driver is charging you more than the current fixing, you can always bargain. They may behave as if they do not understand Englis to avoid the bargain but the majority understans. In such a case, if you just pay the current fixing and leave the car, he won't follow you. Maybe he'll just yell but just walk away.
Fun Alternatives: You have to tell the taxi driver the current fixing to avoid the trap. You can ask your hotel or any local store the current fixing. Remember it is not written anywhere. People just know it.

Fun Alternatives: It is not hard to find a taxi in Famagusta so take the card but don't appreciate it. Still, keep a few until you leave. You know, just in case...
