We visted Farmagusta while on holiday in Cyprus (Ayia Napa) as a 20 year old seeing something like this I didn't believe was going to be intersting - but trust me it was and it only took a morning. We booked with a local operator as you will find their prices a lot cheaper than those the tour operators. So we get up early and visit Farmagusta and the fact that there is no-one about apart from the UN headquarters is quite a sight. What u should realise is that people were more or less kicked out of the North and presumed they were going back and never took any of their belomgings with them. For me this trip was an eye opener, on the trip was my 9 year old brother and he also seemed quite fascinated about all.
Hello there,
I too went to Protarus in 2002 and went to the Famagusta viewpoint. The 'zoo' that accompanied the touristy viewpoint was extremly distresing. The animals were cooped up in dirty hot conditions and they were all running alive with fleas. As you can probably guess I am very fond of animals so that didn't impress me.
However I agree that it was interesting but I must say if you watched that video, it was very very biased and really just propaganda.
