Why don't you visit there and take the pics yourself? (when in Cyprus)
"They" wont bite you..

Going to cyprus next year for the summer with the missus, just would be nice to see some pics or get some info on it as the internet doesnt have much. From what i hear its pretty much abandoned.

Anything would be great thankyou, the way my mum describes it you would think its the best place in the world, she has even claimed its better than australia, unless it has a huge amount of natural beauty i dont think she is right (i have had a look from google earth and it doesnt look like much).
Thanks again

BigAl,

reports are published at north after the gates opened says :

AYDOĞAN (STAVROGONNO)

We were 26 kilometers east of Paphos at Aydoğan (Stravrogonno) village, which was only inhabited by Turkish Cypriots before 1974.

This was our guide Ibrahim Tezkan’s former village. On entering the village, Tezkan, who is now 72 years old, was very excited. He was like a happy child. When we get out of the car, he immediately set out to find his former house, but he was very disappointed to see that his house too had been razed to the ground. Tezkan who said: “Our house was 40 meter squares, but it is now completely demolished", was further astonished on seeing that the other Turkish houses were also razed to the ground.

When we found the mosque of the village, we could not enter inside because the door was locked. On looking through the broken windows, we didn’t see anything different from what we saw at the places of worship in other areas, namely pigeon nests, faeces and destroyed furniture.

At the village, were confronted with two bells hanging in front of the Aydoğan primary school, and learnt that the school had been turned into a church. The door was closed and it was well kept. The building just next to the school and which used to be a sports club or culture center was in a very bad condition. Doors and windows were broken and all the furniture was vandalized.

We visited the village’s cemetery and saw that it too was neglected. Most of the graves had been demolished or razed to the ground because no repairs had been carried out through many years of neglect.
