Gabriel, we appreciate your content and thank you for the effort. As a cypriot ( i believe that i am talking behalf of all Greek-Cypriots) i would like to express my concerns to you, for showing and going to the OCCUPIED by the turkish army side of my country. 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.

History is complicated, but it makes for compulsive viewing, the locations you have covered which have been a joy to watch, especially the unfolding stories, plus amazing architecture.

I live in Larnaca Cyprus and can tell you the overwhelming consensus is for reunification as people from both sides are just fed up with the current situation .

[AnkleSnapper]

Always informative to hear you talk flight options and border crossings.

***correction in 1974 it was 87% Greek and 13 % Turkish .

[konstantinosstamatopoulos]

Your travels have made you wise, and to appreciate Greek and other cultures

[normanlee]

No, , Greek and Turkish Cypriots can cross the border easily! Many Turkish Cypriots cross daily for work, Greek Cypriots cross for shopping at the weekend!

I was there about 6 years ago. Very interesting backstory and charming people. Good job! (also, i like the stepped up editing style. continue.)

I’m planning to land in Ercan airport through Ankara or Istanbul and visit Nicosia this summer. Is it safe to visit?

[konstantinosstamatopoulos]

If you go to Sifnos do not forget to visit kastro, swim from the rocks of Chrisopigy church and hike to profitis ilias, the highest monastery-location in the island

[invisioner]

So random they're blasting kendrick lamar humble in that awesome looking place at the end XD You really captured the essence of this place, great video brother.

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!
