  • Varosha is an abandoned southern quarter of the Cypriot city of Famagusta. Before 1974, it was the modern tourist area of the city. Its inhabitants fled during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, when the city of Famagusta came under Turkish control, and it has remained abandoned ever since. As of 2019, the quarter continues to be uninhabited; buildings have decayed, and, in some cases, their contents have been looted over the years; some streets have been overgrown with vegetation; and the quarter is generally described as a ghost town. Entry is forbidden to the public.

    Me and my family lived in a lovely flat 6 Lincoln Street from 1969-1972 and I was born in Akrotiri in 1962 when my father was first sent on tour to Cyprus in the RAF. We were based in Limassol then. I will NEVER forget my life there - it was truly magical for me as a 10 year old. I am so grateful of the memories I still have 🙏🏻✨

    I lived in Famagusta from 1969-1972 as a child and to see it like this is testimony to how little the human race has progressed. What is wrong with us. For goodness sake let the people return to where they belong. This is their place of home! I bless you all and pray that the hearts of the people that have brought this about truly wonderful heart opens up in common sense prevails.

      @Imay well let me put it this way. say you had a girlfriend living at your house. While there you guys get into an argument and you have a fight because you want your older brother to move in who you're close with. Instead of speaking it over you guys have a fight and her family move in and try and throw you out of the house. You tried and explain what's going and that its your right, as its your house that he should be able to move in but the gf just gets more pissy and so what happens is that your house gets split in half. Your tv, pc, and fridge are in the 1/3 that was taken and you cant get that back. you understand now? The north generated a shit tonne in tourism and the Turks took it knowing full well what it meant to the greeks. The north has nicer beaches while the south, which is still beautiful is not as comparable

    The weapons must be put down on both sides. We are all brothers and sisters in this world, so let’s unite together EVERY man, woman and child and be prepared to accept our differences and respect the diversity this would bring. Instead of carrying on old ancestral destructive beliefs passed down from generation to generation, let’s turn around and look at it! Look at the pain and suffering it has caused. We are better than that. We don’t need to be those people anymore. “Love thy neighbour”.

    As an very much oldie; 'fan8281' and I are on different planets. I've been bombed out of houses twice in WW11 by those who thought they were Aryans and was narrowly missed by two bombs on another occasion during that period. I've seen the mess this world has become and have studied this COSMOS for over 58 years along-with its lifeforms. I experienced the calamities of Varosha and elsewhere on the island but I always had a great respect for the wonderful folks I met who were wise and intelligent. Cyprus is an island in the Med' and when folks realize that and learn to get on together without indoctrination it will return to be that beautiful place I know it could be........ Who caused all the wars throughout history 'fan8281' - have you an intelligent answer???????
