    The capital of Cyprus Nicosia or Lefkosia in Greek remains the last divided city in Europe. Since the Turkish invasion of Northern Cyprus in 1974, the city has been divided between the Republic of Cyprus and the unrecognised Republic of Northern Cyprus (under Turkish control). Both parts are separated by a buffer zone or green line which remains uninhabited to the day. To visit the Turkish side of the city, you have to cross at the checkpoint in Ledra Street, one of the main shopping streets in the center of Nicosia. And so I did. Nicosia is a relatively small city and most of the major tourist attractions on both the Greek and Turkish sides can be seen in just a couple of hours. So check out what you can expect as a tourist in Nicosia and don't forget to like the video, if you have enjoyed it!

    I visited Cyprus twice before the 1974 war.
    The first time in the summer of 1972 I just turned 9 years old. We went to Nicosia and Famagusta which was a beautiful touristic city by the sea. I remember the beautiful white sand beach.
    The second time was six months later during the Christmas/New year vacation. We stayed at the Ledra Palace Hotel. Such beautiful memories.

      I did visit Cyprus before the 1974 war as a kid. I went there to visit my parents as my father was working for British Government as MOD civil servant at a British military base at Dhelika from 1970 to 1973 when he was posted back to England a year before the war. We lived in Famagusta and I enjoyed swimming in beach almost every day while I was on main school holiday. I went to Cyprus and back to England for school at Basingstoke.
      I remember it very well. it was a peaceful island then but I don't go to NIcosia or even Laranca. My parents and my sister and brother went to both cities though. I did not fly to and from Laranca, only Nicosia airport from London Heathrow using BEA (now merged with BOAC as British Airways) except one or two which I flew with Cyprus Airways (in partnership with BEA at the time). Sadly since the 1974 invasion, that airport is still closed except that it was used as a base for UN peacekeeping forces.
      I really enjoyed visiting Cyprus very much as a young boy.

      @@DavBlc7 You remember something wrong. That was not an invasion, ther is no invasion. Some racist Greek cypriots called EOKA had a coup to government and started to slaughter Turkish Cypriots with the purpose of masacre (look for ENOSIS, or megalo idea) and Turkish Republic helped Turkish Cypriots as one of the guarantier state in 1974 because UN and UK didnt move any finger to solve the problem for 10 years (1963-1974). There is Turkish Cyprus Republic state now, thats the state of Turklish Cypriots, so this is not an invasion. Invasion is like what UK did like in south africa, hong kong, india etc. and what UK did in 1874-1918 (Cyprus and Anatolia invasion of UK) Turkish Cypriots have been living there since 16th century.

      @@tarkbayraktar9000 you sound very misinformed. The coup was instigated by the cia and henry kissinger and 5000 greek cypriots died fighting the coup. It had nothing to do with eoka. At the united nations in new york makarios begged the gurantor power to intervene to stop the coup and when turkey invaded 20th july 1974 the coup collapsed 3 days later. Turkey said they invaded to safeguard cyprus but changed their excuse later that it was to protect the turkish cypriots. Turkey doesnt care about the turkish cypriots , in 1974 there were 80,000 t/cypriots but by 1979 there were barely 45,000 left and a big part was because ankara flooded northern cyprus with anatolian settlers mostly kurds and the crime rate skyrocketed.

    I cried when the aeroplane landed in Cyprus..I had been wanting to go for 30 years..I live in the UK, and worked amongst Cypriots for 25 year's..Mostly greek Cypriots..they are so warm and friendly and very family orientated.
    I arrived in Pathos, and I felt I had come home, even though I'm not greek.
    I absolutely loved it there, travelled around to different villages, all very welcoming , up to the mountains amazing country...it was sad to see some of the places that had been destroyed, but the buildings that survived have been restored and are beautiful once again.
    It's also so nice and clean (although the toilets are another thing) even the rubble is clean,
    I know the old country cannot come back..but I do hope Cyprus can once again live in peace...both sides.
    I must add when the 1974 war started I was working in the UK with both Greek and Turkish people, these people grew up together in the same village's, it was devastating to be there with them at that time, something I will never forget. Heartbreaking
    I would love to have gone back.
    Thank you for showing this video I felt I had gone back for a moment.

    Very nice video. I was just in Nicosia last weekend. You captured many of the main sites. I live on the Greek side of Cyprus, but there is something very special about the north. Perhaps because it hasn't been so overdeveloped. Friendly people on both sides, north and south. I hope they can eventually work out their differences and create a united Cyprus. Not Greek, not Turkish, but combining the best of both. I fear it will take another generation, however.

    The Greek part looks better and has a way higher standard of living (Gdp per capita of 29,000 vs 14,000 on the Turkish side) wages are also really high on the Greek side and also part of the EU (with talks to join NATO too)

    • @emre05x
      @emre05x 4 года назад

      Guess why that is. If you isolate the northern part and subsidize the southern part with undeserved EU money it‘s absolutely logical that the difference is like day and night. It however does not legitimize to first make a witch hunt on the Turkish population and then talk about an occupation of the north by Turkey. It is a protectorate to prevent backstabbing blind hellenistic nationalists to kill innocent people on the island. You would kill us all if you were in Turkey‘s position and we were in yours. Because this is your true barbaric character.

      @@yusralouhi2788 now with covid and everything that has happened in the last year its a bit different than when i wrote that comment, but i will do my best. Also, i must say first that this is how i see things as a 21 year old, so its basically my opinion. There is physical division yes, but more importantly the extremists on both sides are unfortunately the loudest shouters, and so they drown out the majority of people who are reasonable and have no problem with the "other side". Basically, most people would love to co-habit with the "other side" (i have to put quotations because really were all cypriots, disregarding mainland greeks and turks, and irrespective of which side someone was trapped on after the war). Sadly though, our politicians at least in the south, im not entirely sure how it is on the north but from what i hear from friends in the north its a similar situation, they always use the war/division/re-unification as a rally cry to gather supporters and votes. They keep promising that they will make steps to find a solution to the cyprus problem, but because its not in their favour to do so (because if they do they will lose their strongest argument of gathering supporters/votes), as soon as they are elected they switch to the real reason they wanted to get into the position they are in -- profit. This has nothing to do with left or right, its everyone sadly. Its a f*#+ed up situation that i personally dont have all the answers for... All i know is that the current system on both sides is deeply flawed, and keeps two communities that want to be friends from the bottom of their hearts, divided. To close, when i am talking about cypriots, i am not referring to mainland greeks (enosis - the far right movement in the south that wishes cyprus to become a part of greece and lose its identity) or mainland turks (colonisers who have been brought over by turkey so that they outnumber the 'turkish-cyptiots' on the island). Not my words, a turkish-cypriot [read as: cypriot] friends words. Many people will disagree with what i have written, and perhaps they are right in some aspects, but this is my perspective on the issue based on my experiences.
