Larnaca & Lazarus

In the shadow of no man’s land you can visit 2 ancient monuments.
The Church of Saint Lazarus, a 9th century Byzantine church and the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque. Both symbols of the main religions in Cyprus.

Pyla, 16 kms outside of Larnaca is a small village with a community center. From their rooftop terras you have a clear view over the area.
Here we met a Cypriot who was victim of the country’s split.
With a melancholic voice he told us that he was evicted of his house which was just in the middle of no man’s land. Because he’s a staff member of the community center, he’s confronted daily with his old home in view.
