We wanted to visit this Famagusta old town and Varoshi ghost town now when it was available and open. Bottom feeling is what a waist of peoples lives and lost business. Hope Turkey and Cyprus and work it out and make lasting solution. When driving back to south side you cannot be unnotised how much more developed south side is comparing to turkish side. Had a hald a day tour and it was long enough. We saw Old Famagusta, ghost town and constantian beach where we had pita picnic lunch. The beach was not so nice cos there is so many cigarette buds on the beach.
