Many tourist are not aware of the invasion of this island in 1974 which has changed its political landscape and still continues be a talking point. Cyprus has now been divided or partitioned for over 45 years and we will take you along this Divided Line. Today it is still patrolled by the military 365 days a year, by both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot soldiers. Achna Village is one of the most poignant landmarks on the Divided Line. This village has been empty since 1974 and you can still see the empty homes and abandoned cemetery, no flowers have been laid on these graves for over 45 years. The UN have priority control over this area and on a daily basis the UN helicopters fly over. We then head back to the coast where we have see the ghost town of Varosha and Famagusta from the viewpoint.
