CY, Varosha
The Serenissima Hotel is one of many hotels in Varosha that once made this coastline a tourism hub in the 1960s and early ’70s. Known as the "Riviera of the East," Varosha drew visitors from around the world until its sudden evacuation in 1974. Its properties, including this hotel, remain legally owned by displaced Greek Cypriots, whose right to return is recognised by the UN and international courts—but still unfulfilled.
