Thanks for the video !

Check google earth

I looked at Google earth, could not tell which streets I was looking at...
I used to live at No. 7 Ploutonos street, Stavros, Varosi.

Impossible to find a street map so I can overlay with Google earth to make up the location of my house.

Someone must have this map...

Was your house close to a small roundabout?

The house was at the corner of Ploutonos & Platonos streets, accros from the stavros cemetery.
The roundabout you are reffering to must be the TH.O.I, located behind the Timios Stavros Church. I used to play ping-pong there. Across the street the Teoulides house was located and the old cemetery grounds...

I just don,t understand why the Barosi street map is not on the internet? I looked into the Cyprus government website for maps but nothing...

Perhaps we can use a Google Earth image and edit it with street names/landmarks etc. In the end, when on Google earth, people can actually see & recognize certain parts of the city. Considering the overgrouwth of trees/plants etc, the job of looking at a sat image becomes difficult.

How many members of this forum come from barosi? How many of them can remember details from the city street layout? I am 55 years old & can hardly remember places or names...

Excellent work. Some streets not named but overall very good.
Nikitas & Rafaella... when are we going back home?

Against all odds, some of my fellow Baroshiotes refuse to go back even if the city is finally freed! I don't get it. Am I missing something here?

I bet, if the Baroshia opens up, lots of these ex-Baroshia residents will go back... it's our homeland, NEVER FORGET.

36 years ago, I used to say Baroshia is the best city in Cyprus...still think the same. Back then, Larnaca was a mere village, Limassol and Paphos a long distance away and Nicosia...too hot or too cold to live there!

I traveled to all the Caribbean destinations, seen a lot of nice beaches, palm trees etc but you know what... none of the above comes close to the Ammochostos beach, even today as we speak!
