Outside dad's home.....

The beautiful building at the back is the Magistrates Court of Famagusta .....

.... where my grand-dad worked as a judge for 25 years. I was able to visit his office.

Sad but true.....

This once was the Savoy Hotel. Yuri Gagarin stayed here in 1971, after his visit in space.

The Central Fire Brigade Station of Famagusta

This is part of the old wall of the city

St John's church which is only 100 m from my mum's house.

A view of Famagusta...... deserted buildings on the beach.

This is the inhabited part of the beach of Famagusta

Thisis the part of the Salaminia Hotel, which was bombarded by the Turkish troops in the invasion of 1974.

A dream comes true...... in the waters of Famagusta

.... and the ghost town at the background is waiting for its people

The golden sand of Famagusta....
