| Picture 5. reminds of Benidorm in the 70's as well.
At least aya nappa and protaris are not all high rise. Learned one lesson from 74 then. |

I doubt the guy behind her in the photo would be a Turkish Cypriot, they were not allowed to go to places like that, had to stay in their own enclaves. |

| Hi zerochlor
I clicked on to your link in msg 21 and it said Famagusta and Kerinya which I took to be Kyrenia, and just thought people that hadnt seen it would be interested to see what the harbour etc looked like. Nothing sinister intended. |

| Hi Zerochlor,
really loved looking at the photos.
Husband was in Famagusta in 1970/71, as a Navigating Officer in the Merchant Navy. Brought back a lot of good memories for him.
Thanks loads,
Marilyn |

Have you been swallowing more propaganda aimed at dumb Brits who don't know any better? Tell me about the Turkish Cypriots enclaves in 1974? And developments in 1968? Then we can compare our experiences and memories of Varosha, Famagusta. |

| They are brilliant, thanks for posting them. The first picture on message 2 is particularly good. It shows the front of the Palm Beach Hotel and the now bombed hotel next to it intact. |

| We had booked to go to Famagusta in 1974 on holiday and had to cancel due to the turmoil.
It was the number 1 resort in Cyprus at the time. One day it will be all sorted out and will be a lovely resort again. |

So why would Turkish Cypriot friends who lived both in Kyrenia and Limassol before 1974 tell me lies then? |

| Loved looking at the photos. Its such a shame its not now as it was then. Hopefully one day it will be re-opened, rebuilt and the tourists will flock back to a beautiful area. Famagusta was dead last week when I went to visit and its such a shame. |

| Thanks a lot for the photos. lovely to see them, and I have talked to folk who
were around there at that time, and others who were visiting.
Last time I was swimming in Palm Beach hotel (in the pool under the bubble)
somebody started letting fireworks off, and I thought they were shooting! Didn't
know whether to stay in the pool or run for the hotel! |

| Message 34 and others - do you lot really think that Varosha is "lovely" You obviously then will be content if the Turks adopt the Greek style as in the South where the whole place is high rise. That will be followed by "English, Irish and jock" bars and the karaoke which we keep hearing about. So a once quiet sophisticated part of the island will become an 18/30s resort like everywhere else.Go for it - you helped spoil the south so I suppose you will do the same to the north. Progress !???? |

| Great pictures. reminds me of the times we spent in Cyprus between 1972 and 1974. We stayed at the Cypriana Hotel and then the Evagoras court (later the Park hotel). |
