<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Varosha City is an abandoned tourist resort that takes place in Mediterranean. It is considered its "Best kept secret". The story behind such a series of events starts about 40 years ago when Turkey invaded Cyprus and took the northern third of the island. As the troops got closer to the resort, the inhabitants eventually fled, most of which intended on returning when the drama had stopped. However, when they returned, Turkish military had fenced off the entire resort and it had been considered a ghost town ever since.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some tell stories of some lives that were stopped "mid-frame"; meaning that when people were in the middle of doing something, they were interrupted by the unfortunate series of events. Some pots were left on the stove cooking, or some alarm clocks going off. Someone even left some wedding presents in the attic!</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Varosha City is in the southern area of Cypriot city of Famagusta. Its own name comes from the Turkish word 'varos' meaning 'suburb'. During its golden years in the 70s, the resort was a huge hit. In order to keep control of the flooding number of tourists that were coming in, lots of sky-scraping hotels were contructed. Now these hotels slowly turn to dust.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While these aren't often noted any longer, there were some rather impressive features of this resort when it was still the big cheese. Such has John F. Kennedy Avenue, a street that ran from the port of Famagusta through Varosha and then along the Glossa beach. Most hotels were built along this trail, for convienence.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While unlikely, some people say that there may be a day where Varosha reopens to once again inhabit visitors. This is nothing but a hoax, however; the people who 'own' the land haven't ever given a word on it, including the Turkish military. Since the hotels are still protected by lots of barricading, most of the things that were left behind in the rush to get away are long forgotten.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Even if one day Varosha City became inhabited again, there is plenty of work to be done - there is no way that the crumbling hotels are safe enough to inhabit any of their visitors. The beaches are also fenced off, with signs that currently read things like "No Man's Land" and "No Photos". Obviously, no one really follows that last rule.</p>
