[@eastkentaddicks]

Very good and informative Video, well done George 😊

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@KENNEWMAN-s2p]

Excellent video, thank you.

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Very welcome.

[@andrewtyas2037]

Thank you George for being such an inspiration to me. As a result of your walk along the coastal path from Pernera to Protaras I was able to take some wonderful sunrise photos, which I have added to all the main Cyprus and Protaras sites on Facebook. Thanks again George and the crew for all your efforts. Shame I never got to meet you. Regards Andy Tyas

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Saw tour pics they are amazing. Next time hopefully.

Prize posting.

[@gordonspencer9534]

We went on this tour a couple of weeks ago, also did the speed boat, the tour guides were great, can absolutely recommend this experience

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Totally agree!

[@malaika2940]

Super video; really interesting. I think the Royal cypher on the Post Box was that of George V. Thank you!

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Thank you.

[@jeanlowe8879]

Thanks guys that Was a very informative and interesting video brilliant will be going there September looking forward to it 👏👏👏🙋🏼‍♀️

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@dogred431]

We went about a week and a half ago, had to take a TUI trip due to car insurance worries. We only had 30 mins in varosha. I suspect TUI are only allowed 30 mins there, they have no suspended the tours due to suspected political concerns. I'm really glad I went, but your videos provide so much more context and information than the TUI tour. If TUI had been honest and explained why we only had such a short time, we still would have gone. But the whole tour felt a bit garish and disrespectful, missing any kind of info of what we were looking at. Really great videos on this George. Glad to watch this having been there and find out more about what we missed and what it was we saw.

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Oh that's a shame. Glad we filled in the gaps for you.

[@yvonnetitterington3675]

Hi George and Su thank you showing another fantastic vlog with great information involved and what amazing trip it looked everything is really very lovely and interesting like your hat it really suits you and the cakes in the shop looked delish and really enjoyed this vlog and the beach looks really beautiful and the boat trip bit is fantastic and we haven’t done this type of trip before so maybe we should do

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Think you should Yvonne, we loved it.

[@cherylkenway3357]

Hi George, we have been to Cyprus for the last 15 years and looking forward to do this tour… your videos are amazing and we hope to see you walking out and about one evening on the strip of Protaras..Cheryl x

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Hope do too.

[@MartyJones]

Fantastic video George & Su, in fact it's one of the best ones you've ever done in my opinion! More long videos like this please! Amazing but sad at the same time to see all the old abandoned buildings. Hopefully one day a solution will be found although I think the whole city would need a complete knock down and rebuild at this point!

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Think you are right Marty, hopefully a solution one day. Thanks 😊

[@TravelonlineWalk]

Nice, we plan to go to Paphos next month

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Have the best trip

[@fishingsouthwestuk9925]

Been on that tour a couple times now. And il be totally honest it was FANTASTIC. It’s so interesting and the the beach is stunning. The tour guide (forgot her name) was brilliant. My nephew who’s autistic must of asked her a thousand questions and she was brilliant with him. Turkish speaking guide was brilliant as well and love the banter between them both. I will definitely be going on that excursion again when I return. Cheers George and Sue. 👍

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Her name is Maria, we loved the day.

[@stevejaques9524]

Great video guys. We love using the Red Bus tour every visit, it’s such a packed and informative day. Oddly, I put this on while we had dinner and when I’d finished I started emptying our suitcase ready for our next trip to Kapparis and the first thing I picked up was the Original Red Bus brochure. As for the lion, we were told that if you make a wish into his ear it’ll come true. Still hasn’t though.

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

We are not millionaires either!!!

[@russgood3979]

Did this trip just few days before yours, absolutely loved it. Great video

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Thanks 😊

[@richardowen4936]

Great video, the red bus tour really is a great trip, been many times. I still remember the invasion as a 7yr old living in Limassol when my dad was in the RAF. You have a real knack for finding the ice creams Delish ❤

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Thanks Richard.

[@CassandraThomson-on4pz]

Thanks for this video, we are booked on this trip on 16th september!

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

It's the best.

[@simonstroud2555]

We visited the ghost town a couple of weeks ago. The highlight for me was seeing the sign of the front of the old abandoned "hi fi" shop where they proudly displayed the logos of Pioneer (obvs still a thing 50 years after the invasion) alongside "Garrard", which us oldies would recognise as "the first name in turntables" back in the early 70s, probably more so than Pioneer then.

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Definitely love the ghost signs. Did you see the old pop bottles up by the mosque?

[@jacquelinehayes5377]

Coming to protarus in oct , is this tour still available,,,

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Yes it is.

[@colinford4740]

Hi George another great vidio, we will be coming out in october and will be going on the red bus going to be staying at the sunrise gardens can you do another walk round.

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Will do.

[@brianfoskett3055]

Fantastic video george and su full of history thankyou for all what you do

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@margaretsofocleous1999]

If you go to the top floor of the ice-cream shop mardo their is a beautiful seating area and the view of Famagusta is amazing

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Thanks Margaret.

[@margaretsofocleous1999]

I think you will find the hotel was built by Trust House Forte and had connections with Makarios too as I read it was built on Greek Cypriot Church land. You can find pictures of them both opening the hotel

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Oh interesting.

[@howardwalter5308]

Hi George and crew. The postbox is George rex v.

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Great thank you.

[@greigmartin8768]

Hi George , when will the vlog from the meet and greet on Thursday be uploaded 🙂

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Later in next week.

[@WayneRobinson-ic7iw]

Love the hat Fella 😆 Do you lose it under the bridge ?!? Great tour 👍🏻

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Why thank you

[@margaretsofocleous1999]

Those crocheted streamers are a memorial to the Famagusta children who tragically died in the huge earthquake in Turkey in 2023. I was in Famagusta when they did the funeral of 6 of the children. It was not long after my darling husband's funeral in Liopetri . I was so emotional as I knew some of the relatives and teacher of the children. It was a tragedy that was deeply felt in Famagusta as the sports team were in Turkey for a tournament. Their team photograph is near the mosque you actually videod the poster

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Oh thank you. Such a tragedy 😢

[@Kerem-qh1jm]

great video! the turkish lady at 15:55 were kind of ruining your video but she was complaining that people running over stray animals and they just leave and don't help the poor animal etc. she was an animal lover like you guys.

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Oh thanks for the info..

[@sherrenmacleod7807]

How long was the trip...my cruise ship leaves at 4 so i need to be back by 3 jic. Thank you for all the history and info. Great chanel.

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

We got back at 3pm but there can be queues at the crossing point.

[@anthonyfernwood8093]

Done that tour a couple of years ago, it was full of people then, why is it empty now .

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Last week of school holidays always quiet.

[@margaretsofocleous1999]

It's well worth hiring a buggy as you will have a driver guide and you see so much more as it can be tiring to get around everything

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Need to do that.

[@LeoLynxAndTiger]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Hi Leo.

[@ginamartin6768]

We are going in November again

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Oh good good

[@michaeloconnor9465]

I have read that Tui has stopped all excursions to the Northern Cyprus following an agreement with the Cypriot government. Will this ban spread to independent excursions companies.

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

No I don't think so it will just put the money in the pockets of local businesses not tour operators.

[@michaeloconnor9465]

@CYPRUSINSIGHT The way I see it is the Cypriot government wants to see the Tourist money stay in Southern Cyprus. Tui would have taken huge numbers of people over the border. Local businesses can't move the numbers Tui can.

[@atilashefik5127]

Absolutely great video love watching you guys you are both amazing keep up your amazing work have a great weekend 🎉❤

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Thanks so much Atila.

[@northernblue1093]

Varosha waterfront does not extend 30 miles, I'd be surprised if it is 3 miles.

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

OK thanks

[@peggy4293]

Hi George we been on the gost town tour three times is there a new one with different places? We are coming end of October

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

The only new bit for us was the speedboat trip.

[@peggy4293]

@@CYPRUSINSIGHToh ok mate never mind a thought they had opened it up a bit more

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

@@peggy4293 we will have a walk around next month when it's cooler and check.

[@alcoomer]

Is it best to pay in euros or Turkish lira when there george

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Either works and you get the official exchange rate.

[@MRGoldschneider]

Haha I’ve been on that 2 years ago the red bus famagusta Did that coffee shop rip you off? I’ve been there before I think they charged me £3 for a small latte when other areas around there were £0.80

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

No was price on the menu.

[@andrewcook5301]

How long was your trip you went on From Start to finish?

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

We did not do the pick ups and we was on the bus 5 hours

[@grantwatson5622]

Really great trip guys .I reckon everyone should do it at least once . Fab vlog .Loving the hat mate !💪😎Thanks for taking us touring ❤

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Glad you enjoyed it, I agree think people need to see it.

[@kevinsmith4172]

Hi George and Su. Amazing and very informative video, George, we really loved it. By the way, Jane loved your hat. Best regards, Kevin and Jane 😎

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

Thank you, see you soon.

[@louislambri]

Very interesting george but no fault of your own it’s made me angry as my family had property on the beach front of Varosha. What makes me mad is if it’s abandoned why are the Turkish allowed to sell you food and make money from a supposedly abandoned town. Sorry to get all heavy but gonna have to go and calm down 😡😡🤬

[@CYPRUSINSIGHT]

No rules!!!
