  • A day in Famagusta, Northern Cyprus, where we visit Varosha, the abandondoned ghost town left empty since the Turkish occupation in 1974. Left alone to rot for 50 years, this former military zone is now accessible to tourists and is fascinating to see.

    👋Wow, what an incredible presentation of Varosha! You really captured its history and atmosphere in such a compelling way. I explored Varosha in one of my videos too, but I must say, the depth and perspective you brought here is truly inspiring. Your storytelling and visuals are on another level-amazing work!

    Wow, I never knew this place had so much scenery and history.
    Can I ask when you went across the border into northern Cyprus, was it just an immigration point and did you have to pay anything to cross??
    Another brilliant video!!
    Very sorry to hear about your uncle Lee, and hoping that the pictures that you send him will jog his memories of when he served in Cyprus. Huge hugs being sent.
    Hope all is well, take care of yourselves

      It really is a fascinating place to visit. We made another video showing that exact border crossing. No, there's no fee to cross.
      I'll see my uncle again soon and I'm hoping to be able to help him reminisce about the old days. 🙏❤️🙏
