An interesting day wondering either side of the green line, and the separation zone in Nicosia, Europe’s last divided city.
I did not get an opportunity to visit Berlin during the Cold War, but this scar from the 1974 Turkish occupation of Cyprus must have a similar effect of the people of the city.




I am often asked what does the grey dotted line of Google maps represent, the term “disputed border” has real meaning here as the border is only recognised by a single nation, but “the facts of the ground” say something else!
