Well, it's disappointing to ask a normal question and don't get any answer.

Get rid of that pollocks from your "location" mate/matess and you might just get a little more respect here. Til you do ..... axir tir.

Kyrenia Harbor back in 1972!

The video clip is from the 1972 comedy movie “Diakopes stin Kypro mas” (“Holidays in Cyprus,”) and contains the song “Koutsi Kithara” (“lame guitar”) of Cypriot composer Manos Loizos, sung by actress Dora Sitzani (later wife of Manos Loizos) by the Kyrenia Harbor.

RE Antreis "Kyrenia 1973". Thank you for posting this pic. Historical interesting, because it shows a small house in front of the Venetian Round Tower. Any idea what it was used for? When and why it has disappeared?

I have no idea and actually i did not even know whether it disappeared or not since i have not visited the place since.
The photo also shows the Pirate ship used in the filming of a movie with Peter Sellers in 1973/4 just before the invasion.Rumors have been circulating since that the ship was actually part of a turkish spying scheme and the film was just a "legitimate" front.The film has never officially circulated although it can be found from some sources.I can give more info about the name and the plot in a couple of weeks when i return to the homeland.

I visited Kyrenia for the first time in October 2007 I felt very unsafe and threatened by the evident number of army and the Turkish flags. I opted to move on to Xeros (birth village) where I saw our ancestral home and felt the emptiness in my soul oh well such as life ..... might visit again in 2010 when visiting Cyprus.

Re Lapiothi - Thanks for that.

We visited Occupied Kyrenia and its Harbour for the first and only time about three years ago. Some Brit phecker approached me about buying some property, which somewhat spoilt the occasion!

With your leave, I'll post one taken in a village a few miles to the east in 1973 later tonight (if I can find it).

You probably wanted to say "Lapithioti."

I am looking forward to see your video clip from 1973.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that brother. I do stutter sometimes in the old dialect.
(Wonder what they call someone from Morphou?)

Here is a vid I posted on forum about a year ago from the Occupied Village of Agios Amvrosios, which is on the coast about 5-6 miles east of Kyrenia, which features a traditional "pass-time" from Easter Sunday 1973. Well worth a second look I think.

Agios Amv is known amongst the suitcase-packing, get Pickfords in, land-grabbers as Esentepe.

Some brill music on this by the way.

I was told,the "small house" outside of the castle was a temporary structure built to serve as a base station during the process of excavating the ancient sailing ship which is being displayed in Kyrenia castle today.
Although it was disassembled after the completion of excavation process the foundations of this building can still be seen on site.

Esentepe is one of my favorite villages it is much more developed now and the population has increased drastically since the new road was built. Still trying to work out what those GCs were doing on the see saw 10 people on one end and only 1 on the other that guy must have been pretty heavy, is it a GC thing for grown ups?

Life goes on humanist, how do you feel towards the eoka terrorists and the enosis dream when you sense emptiness?

As an obvious expert on "eeseeteepee" can you tell us how many "tcs" lived there prior to the Turkish Invasion of '74 please VP.
