P\u00e5 slutten av 1960-tallet og tidlig p\u00e5 1970-tallet var Ammochostos, lokalt kjent som Famagusta, Kypros\u2019 mest popul\u00e6re turistm\u00e5l, med Varosha som det moderne turistomr\u00e5det i Famagusta-regionen.<\/p>

Mellom 1970 og 1974 var Varosha ikke bare Kypros\u2019 mest popul\u00e6re turistm\u00e5l, men ogs\u00e5 et av de beste feriestedene i verden, med stjerner som Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton og Brigitte Bardot som kom for \u00e5 tilbringe tid p\u00e5 de vakre sandstrendene.<\/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 \u00e5 im\u00f8tekomme det \u00f8kende antallet turister som kom til omr\u00e5det, ble mange nye h\u00f8yhus og hoteller bygget, som dere kan se her i dag. Dessverre f\u00f8rte et gresk milit\u00e6rkupp i august 1974, som hadde som m\u00e5l \u00e5 forene \u00f8ya med fastlands-Hellas, til en invasjon av den tyrkiske h\u00e6ren, noe som resulterte i delingen av \u00f8ya, med den nordlige halvdelen okkupert av tyrkerne og den s\u00f8rlige delen av de gresk-kypriotiske styrkene.<\/p>

Fra den dagen ble Varosha omgjort til en sp\u00f8kelsesby, da dens 40 000 innbyggere ble tvunget til \u00e5 flykte, og til denne dag har de fortsatt ikke f\u00e5tt lov til \u00e5 vende tilbake til hjemmene sine.<\/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 over et halvt \u00e5rhundre har det forblitt slik, med hus og hoteller som fortsatt st\u00e5r tomme, og omr\u00e5det hvor 40 000 mennesker jobbet, studerte og kalte hjem, er fortsatt ubebodd, derav navnet Sp\u00f8kelsesbyen.<\/strong><\/p>
