Why would anyone in their right mind want to visit a military occupied area…

T
o be honest Nikki, generally it’s mainly Greek Cypriots who feel so strongly about that, most other people don’t really take that into account when choosing somewhere to holiday. They view it as a political situation which doesn’t affect them. When you are in the north, you would never know anything different anyway as a tourist.

so much nicer in the North. not spoilt like it is in the south.. if you want something like benidorm go to the south. if you want a bit of paradise.. go to the north! Greeks will always try and say bad things about the north. but just ignore them and go to north cyprus. you will go backagain i promise you!
