Tourists visit Varosha in northern Cyprus, a resort city turned ghost town and a former playground for the rich and famous. On July 20, 1974, Turkish troops invaded northern Cyprus in response to a coup aimed at attaching the country to Greece. The island has since been divided between the Republic of Cyprus, a Greek Cypriot-majority state and European Union member, and the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), recognised only by Ankara.
