CYPRUS HOTELS LAND
Beautiful beaches, white sands and an array of hotels with Mediterranean views to die for: the resort town of Varosha in Cyprus has everything.

Cyprus’s inter-ethnic violence has turned the once thriving resort into a ghost town. But now a new project hopes to reverse Varosha’s fortunes — and turn it into a beacon of hope for the long-divided Mediterranean island.
