I visited this city in 2010 and managed to take some sneaky photos.
Does anyone have stories or have been to Varosha? |
If its been wired off and no one has been inside, how did you get in? Contrary to that, I visited a resort some 3 years ago, no tourists were allowed any where near the place, any trespassers will and have been shot.
We did venture to the fencing where no mans land stretches for around a mile. we were there about 10 min and was approached by an armed patrol.
If indeed no one is allowed in, and have not gone in for fear of being shot, how would any one have factual tales that would be worth reading? Seems to be the jack sparrow syndrome: if no one survives how do the tales come about? |

People have gotten in, many photos have been taken "inside the wire" and are available to view onthe net. I managed to get right upto the wall of one of the hotels, i never saw any patrols though. Managed to get many pictures of around the edge of the city. |
