The documentary constitutes a valuable source of information and through historical evidence, exceptional visual material depicting life in the city before the 1974 Turkish invasion, as well as in-depth testimonies, viewers can gain a thorough understanding of a series of events that led to the current issue of Varosha.

Varosha has been left in ruins, to become a ghost city and still, after 50 years the right of return for it’s displaced residents seems to be a distant dream.

‘Varosha Europe’s Enclosed Town’ is an idea of Tonis Toumazis, presented by Varosha International Initiative. Production: Green Olive Productions Ltd.
