I slutet av 1960-talet och b\u00f6rjan av 1970-talet var Ammochostos, lokalt k\u00e4nt som Famagusta, Cyperns fr\u00e4msta turistm\u00e5l, med Varosha som det moderna turistomr\u00e5det i Famagusta-regionen.<\/p>

Mellan 1970 och 1974 var Varosha inte bara Cyperns fr\u00e4msta turistdestination, utan ocks\u00e5 en av v\u00e4rldens b\u00e4sta semesterorter, med k\u00e4ndisar som Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton och Brigitte Bardot som kom f\u00f6r att tillbringa tid p\u00e5 de vackra sandstr\u00e4nderna.<\/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

F\u00f6r att tillgodose det \u00f6kande antalet turister som kom till omr\u00e5det byggdes m\u00e5nga nya h\u00f6ghus och hotell, som ni kan se h\u00e4r idag. Tyv\u00e4rr ledde en grekisk milit\u00e4rkupp i augusti 1974, som syftade till att f\u00f6rena \u00f6n med fastlands-Grekland, till en invasion av den turkiska arm\u00e9n, vilket resulterade i att \u00f6n delades, med norra halvan ockuperad av turkarna och den s\u00f6dra delen av grekcyprioterna.<\/p>

Fr\u00e5n och med den dagen f\u00f6rvandlades Varosha till en sp\u00f6kstad, eftersom dess 40 000 inv\u00e5nare tvingades fly och fortfarande inte har till\u00e5tits \u00e5terv\u00e4nda till sina hem.<\/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
