Google earth works that way, they use old satellite imagery that they get for free from sat imaging companies. These images cost 1000s of pounds each so I would not believe that you could get for free and be recent as well.

I also have to note that on Phileleptheros they claimed that Hellas sat gave them sam images form Varosi but they were actually Google earth images. So either HellasSat fooled them or they are trying to fool us! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Other than the sea front itself, Larnaka is also pretty poor.
