As well as the old "pro-unification" flags @ 35°16'57.61"N, 33°22'28.08"E :evil:

Cool! But the photo of limassol is quite old :( Maybe more than 4-5 years. Who knows, maybe one day they will show live video! That would be supercool! :D

looks more like a pile of ground.

Not sure. There is another airport at 35 09, 33 30. Is there a way to go directly to a location based on coordinates?

If you have the SEARCH option open then just copy my co-ordinates into that box and press enter. I just did the same with yours and it works fine.

So Cyprus has 6 long run ways ?

Pafos @ 2.5km (34°43'12.28"N, 32°29'3.15"E)
Akrotiri @ 2.7km (34°35'28.65"N, 32°59'4.38"E)
Larnaca @ 2.7km (34°52'29.12"N, 33°37'21.81"E)
Lefkosia @ 3.0km (35° 9'1.57"N, 33°16'40.90"E)
Occupied#1 @ 2.8km (35°14'9.89"N, 33°43'23.11"E)
Occupied#2 @ 2.8km (35° 9'17.51"N, 33°30'7.21"E)
