Once a Maldives Rival, This Place Was a Rich People's Paradise, Now a 'Ghost City'
Young people today like to take trips after getting married, and Maldives is the most talked about. But did you know? If the Turkish army hadn't arrived in Varosha in 1974, there might be another honeymoon destination for Chinese girls today.
Varosha was once the most popular seaside city in Cyprus, it was the most ideal resort for the wealthy at that time. The scenery was no less impressive than that of Maldives, even surpassing Maldives in name. Beautiful seas, soft sand, all kinds of high-end hotels and villas, of course, there are also hot beauties and tempting food.
Once, Varosha was a paradise for wealthy people to enjoy, but with the spread of war, the brightly lit Varosha was turned into a ghost city overnight, and the resort turned into a ghost city.
Coastal resort scenery is a favorite vacation spot for tourists, and Varosha is no exception. It once attracted tourists from all over the country, but now Varosha has lost its former glory, the once-glorious seaside hotels have become ghost cities, and a bamboo fence surrounds the downstairs, separating it from the sea.
The broken-down villa gates are overgrown with weeds, and you can still feel its glory from the outside. The flowers and plants on the balconies have become weeds due to lack of care. The entire Varosha has returned to nature in just a few short years.
The hotel's front door is covered with weeds.
Although in these forty years, the tragedy of Varosha has been forgotten by people, here has gradually improved. Back then, if anyone had sneaked in here, they might have been executed immediately, and now it's starting to be open to the outside world. However, the exact time has not been formally determined, and some people speculate that it will only be back in the eyes of the world when the political issues between North and South Cyprus are resolved.
Now a small part of Varosha's coastline has gradually opened, and you can also go to visit if you are eager. You can experience the clear and transparent sea and soft sand, but the luxury hotels and bustling streets have not returned to normal and are still under blockade. However, this has also given it a unique feeling, at least without the worry of crowds.
In this world, there are many cities that have become prosperous because of people, but there are also many cities that have become dilapidated because of people. We hope that there will never be war in this world, and our tomorrow will be more wonderful.
