January 10, 2020
In the book “Atlas of Improbable Places: A Journey to the World’s Most Unusual Corners” published by Aurum Press, Travis Elborough and Alan Horsfield list the abandoned Cyprus resort of Varosha in Famagusta — which has been under Turkish military occupation since 1974 — among the world’s most mysterious places, according to the Mail Online.
The Mail writes that the Argo Hotel in Varosha was a favourite among the 60’s jet-setters with the likes of Brigitte Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton staying there, and the resort itself was often called the “French Riviera of Cyprus”.
