Group Settings General Settings Group Name:Return to Varosha, Famagusta, Cyprus Internet Address:http://groups.msn.com/ReturntoVaroshaFamagustaCyprus Description: Famagusta developed to the south of the old town, in the area of the relatively new town of Varosha, with its long beach backed by modern hotels.Today Varosha is no more than an empty ghost town.It lies in a UN zone between the Republic of Cyprus and the occupied areas. As the occupants fled from the fighting of the Turkish invasion, Varosha remained empty as it became part of an eery no-mans-land between makeshift borderlines. Washed clothes were left drying on washing lines - electric lights were left burning for years until the bulbs finally failed. Varosha remains a bargaining counter - a symbol of the madness and the tragedy of those awful summer days of July 1974.We want your views and photos of everything Varosha, Famagusta, Cyprus.
