Ende der 1960er und Anfang der 1970er Jahre war Ammochostos, lokal bekannt als Famagusta, das beliebteste Touristenziel auf Zypern, wobei Varosha das moderne Touristengebiet der Region Famagusta war.<\/p>

Zwischen 1970 und 1974 war Varosha nicht nur das Top-Reiseziel auf Zypern, sondern auch eines der f\u00fchrenden Ferienresorts der Welt, mit Pers\u00f6nlichkeiten wie Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton und Brigitte Bardot, die ihre Zeit an den wundersch\u00f6nen Sandstr\u00e4nden verbrachten.<\/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

Um der steigenden Zahl von Touristen, die in die Region kamen, gerecht zu werden, wurden viele neue Hochh\u00e4user und Hotels gebaut, die Sie heute hier sehen k\u00f6nnen. Leider f\u00fchrte im August 1974 ein griechischer Milit\u00e4rputsch, der die Vereinigung der Insel mit dem griechischen Festland zum Ziel hatte, zu einer Invasion durch die t\u00fcrkische Armee, was zur Teilung der Insel f\u00fchrte: Der n\u00f6rdliche Teil wurde von den T\u00fcrken besetzt, der s\u00fcdliche Teil von den griechisch-zypriotischen Truppen.<\/p>

Seit diesem Tag wurde Varosha zu einer Geisterstadt, da ihre 40.000 Einwohner zur Flucht gezwungen wurden und ihnen bis heute die R\u00fcckkehr in ihre H\u00e4user nicht gestattet ist.<\/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

Seit \u00fcber einem halben Jahrhundert ist dies so geblieben, mit H\u00e4usern und Hotels, die immer noch leer stehen, und das Gebiet, in dem 40.000 Menschen arbeiteten, studierten und ihr Zuhause nannten, ist weiterhin unbewohnt, daher der Name Geisterstadt.<\/strong><\/p>

Im Jahr 2020 \u00f6ffnete die Trennlinie zwischen Nord- und S\u00fcdzypern ihre Grenze, um der \u00d6ffentlichkeit den Zugang nach Varosha zu erm\u00f6glichen. Sie k\u00f6nnen nun am Sandstrand entlang spazieren und das einst belebte Resort besichtigen, um selbst die verheerenden Auswirkungen dieses Krieges auf ein einst wundersch\u00f6nes Gebiet zu sehen, das leider seit \u00fcber 50 Jahren in der Zeit stehengeblieben ist.<\/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
