Amazing view of Cyprus

Amazing view of Cyprus

You do not often get the chance to see a nice view of Cyprus from above when you are flying. Especially the occupied side of Cyprus that so many of us do not the chance to admire.

It so happened that during my last flight, on my way back, we passed over Rizokarpaso and Ammochostos. Never before I had the chance to see those beautiful territories of Cyprus from above!
The view was simply amazing and the emotions mixed. Non the less I took my camera and took a few pictures. Who knows when the next time will be that I will get such a view?
