If anyone knows of a site with pictures actually inside Varosha today, I'd be more interested. From what I've seen from the Deryneia observation point, it looks like a pretty eerie place now, a little like Chernobyl if anyone's seen the photosite dedicated to that.

Go to the pictures section on our site. There are plenty of photographs of Varosha as it is now.

Yes it is eirey

Missed those, incredible, particularly the aerial shots (don't know how on earth they got those)

thats ones got to be recent too

Taken back in 1982 apparently... wonder if that shack is still standing, I'd imagine it'd have warped too much to remain upright now.

Reminds me of old abandoned homesteads on the Canadian prairies that have been blasted by the winter cold and summer heat...

I just find the slogans against the destruction kind of ironic...

May be a dumb question but...

How did the recent pictures get taken?

Can you sneak into this area?

Probably by taking pictures from just outside the fenced off area through a zoom lens. If you go into Varosha, you're risking being arrested or shot as it's deemed a military zone by the TC authorities and is heavily patrolled.

The ones that amaze me are the aerial shots, those must have been taken with the permission of the Turkish military...

why isnt it inhabited by TCs or settlers though?
