I slutningen af 1960\u2019erne og begyndelsen af 1970\u2019erne var Ammochostos, lokalt kendt som Famagusta, Cyperns nummer et turistm\u00e5l, hvor Varosha var det moderne turistomr\u00e5de i Famagusta-regionen.<\/p>

Mellem 1970 og 1974 var Varosha ikke kun Cyperns top turistdestination, men ogs\u00e5 et af de bedste feriesteder i verden, med folk som Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton og Brigitte Bardot, der kom for at tilbringe tid p\u00e5 de smukke sandstrande.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For at im\u00f8dekomme det stigende antal turister, der kom til omr\u00e5det, blev mange nye h\u00f8jhuse og hoteller opf\u00f8rt, som I kan se her i dag. Desv\u00e6rre f\u00f8rte et gr\u00e6sk milit\u00e6rkup i august 1974, som havde til form\u00e5l at forene \u00f8en med det gr\u00e6ske fastland, til en invasion af den tyrkiske h\u00e6r, hvilket resulterede i en deling af \u00f8en, hvor den nordlige halvdel blev besat af tyrkerne og den sydlige del af de gr\u00e6sk-cypriotiske styrker.<\/p>

Fra den dag blev Varosha forvandlet til en sp\u00f8gelsesby, da dens 40.000 indbyggere blev tvunget til at flygte, og til denne dag har de stadig ikke f\u00e5et lov til at vende tilbage til deres hjem.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I mere end et halvt \u00e5rhundrede har det forblevet s\u00e5dan, med huse og hoteller stadig tomme, og omr\u00e5det hvor 40.000 mennesker arbejdede, studerede og kaldte hjem, er stadig ubeboet, deraf navnet Sp\u00f8gelsesbyen.<\/strong><\/p>

Tilbage i 2020 \u00e5bnede skillelinjen mellem Nord- og Sydcypern sin gr\u00e6nse for at lade offentligheden komme ind i Varosha, s\u00e5 du nu kan tage en g\u00e5tur langs den sandede strand og det engang travle feriested for selv at se den \u00f8del\u00e6ggende effekt, denne krig havde p\u00e5 et engang smukt omr\u00e5de, der desv\u00e6rre har st\u00e5et stille i over 50 \u00e5r.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
