Cyprus's Varosha, where time came to a halt in 1974
In a show of good faith, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) recently opened two of Varosha's streets to visitors. It has become a tourist attraction, with bike rentals, cafes, playgrounds and a beach volley court at the foot of empty buildings on the verge of collapse. According to Ankara, since the partial reopening of Varosha one and a half years ago, more than 400,000 visitors have walked its streets.
