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.

Very poignant. Where atre they now? I am sure the the people in the vid miss their homes as much as I do.

Many settled in tissy villages of Skarinou and Korphinou.

Ah, Kophinou again. I lived there for three years ( 9 to 12-13yrs). We would walk down to Skarinou to the Pendashino ans 'swim' in the river. (just a pool of water, very brackish).

The "small house in front of the Venetian Round Tower" was built by the British and it served as a Quarantine House. From Italian quarantina ‘forty days’, from quaranta ‘forty’. The word quarantine indicates a forty days confinement of people arriving from abroad as a health precaution measure against possible arrival of an epidemic at the harbour of Kerynia

What a great video Bill C...

[yialousa1971]

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.

Taken from the comments for the Youtube video

This song comes form the film "Diakopes Stin Kypro Mas". And what a tragedy it hides at 3:11.The three guys sitting at the table all died 3 years later during during the Turkish Invasion of Cyprus in 1974.(Information first revealed on 29th September 2009 by Lazaros Mavros on his morning radio programme)

The names of the three then 17-year olds killed fighting the Turkish invaders were Christos Karafillides Andreas Moustakas and Phivos Fieros The two of them were killed on the 22nd July 1974 in the same insidence.God bless them.
