Iceman, you posted a bit of the Kitchener map earlier. I've googled for a large scale version of it without any great success. Have you got a link for it mate please. I have a personal interest in a coastal village about 15 miles east of Kyrenia.


As far as i know there isn't a large scale online version...
I can upload the section you have interest if you be more precise..do you have the name of the village?


Hi again Ice,

It's the old man's village which is about 10-15 miles east of Kyrenia. I think it is referred to on the map by an old name Ay Gurush, aka Agios Amvrosios and latterly called Esentepe.

It's the name Ay Gurush which caught my attention cos it's very similar to the colloquial name the villagers sometimes use, even to this day.

Good, maybe they can do the same in Cyprus!
