Here's an article in The Guardian that states Nicosia is the last divided capital city in the world: www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/15/in-nicosia-cyprus-spirit-of-reconciliation-is-stirring Some have pointed out that Jerusalem could also be considered to be a divided capital. It's certainly debatable. Two differences are that the status of Jerusalem as a capital is disputed. It isn't fully recognized as the capital of Israel or Palestine by the UN. As a result, many countries have chosen to locate their embassies in Tel Aviv rather than Jerusalem. Also, the border check points to enter the West Bank are at the edge of Jerusalem, rather than running right through the middle of the city as is the case with Nicosia.

That area was occupied by the turks in 1974 with an invasion. It is not recognized by any state-goverment in the world, except turkey.

Gabe thank you so much for showing your adventures in Cyprus I have always wanted to go there and I did not know it was split up like that how interesting! As a historian Ik the Greeks and Turks have always had issues and many conflicts with one another over the years but I think The European Union and the U.S/nato should have sanctioned the hell out of Turkey or do whatever was necessary to make them give that land back to Cyprus period. It is absolutely appalling that Turkey is allowed to have any claim on even the tiniest part of that island.

I flew to Cyprus one summer to take part in an archaeological dig. I thought the weather would be like the Greek islands but I was wrong. Cyprus is much hotter. You start sweating at 7 am! I attended a one-day conference at Nicosia (on the Greek side). I don't remember anything outstanding about my visit there. I did not have the opportunity to cross on the Turkish side, but I admire your sense of adventure. You must know that, on the Turkish side, your will not get consular services because no one recognizes the Turkish-Cyprus, except Turkey. Also, no insurance coverage is valid there, I think. But I have to admit that I love travelling out of the beaten path and northern Cyprus is definitely out of the beaten path!!!

Thanks for the informative video Gabriel, we need more people like yourself to put the facts out there. I can tell from the comments you've ruffled the feathers of a lot of Greeks here who seem to conveniently forget their recent history for Turkey operation into Cyprus inorder to prevent it becoming a part of Greece. Just before Turkish operation into Cyprus I can remember as a child we had to vacate our village so we weren't ethnically cleansed by the Greek paramilitary. Unfortunately the Greeks always portray themselves as the victims of Turkish invasion.

Hi Gabriel, this is something you see in the Caribbean with the Dominican Republic and Haiti in a constant struggle to separate the two countries there are always problems at the border. The DR doesn't want Haitians to cross into their country which is often the case seeking a better life. At the border in Cyprus, many Greeks seem to cross into Northern Turkey.

So, they converted Aya Sophia cathedral on Cyprus into a mosque too. I did not know that.

The issue as I see it is that he has an Ercan stamp on his entry flight from Turkey. The Greek Cypriots view that as an illegal entry! Let's see!

Hello Gabriel.... Love your content.... How ever I'm sure you already know that the music you played was of Afghani Persian origin.... 🙏🙏🙏👏❤️

Yes. Most of the music I use isn't from the country where the video is filmed. It's complicating due to copyright issues.

I'm a Greek cypriot born and raised in Australia. All my family live in Cyprus and always come every Christmas to Australia to visit. I've never been to Cyprus and plan to visit the motherland in 2023. I can't wait!

Is it the only divided capital city in the world though? What about Jerusalem? Some consider it to be the capital of Palastine as well. Dont want to bring politics in to it but just stating this as a fact :"More than 135 United Nations member countries recognize Palestine as an independent state, but Israel and some other countries, including the United States, don't make this distinction." And there sure are walls and barriers to keep Israel and Palastine divided, so yeah. Again, dont have a personal opinion on the matter so no need for anyone to be offended, just trowing it out there as its clearly an issue of debate and some would probably argue that Jerusalem is very much a divided capital city.

I guess it's debatable. The barriers in Jerusalem are on the edge of the city, so maybe that's the difference. Here's a page that states it's the only divided capital: www.finnsaway.com/nicosia-the-divided-capital-of-cyprus/
