Hello Alexis, my name is Gregorios Economides. I am the son of Dr Dionysios Economides. We are trying to locate an old friend of his Sotiris Hadjisoyeriou. They are both from Yialousa and they attended the gymnasium in Famagusta together in the 40s. I don't suppose you are related. If you can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. My email address is info@radecal.net.
Thanks

Thank you for some wonderful memories. I lived in Akrotiri in the 60s and we had our summer holidays in 1968 at the Grecian Hotel in Famagusta! I also had many friends in Famagusta and Dhekelia.

I am also looking for my very dear friend, Maro Moore (KOUTROUZA). I lost contact with her in 2010 when she went overseas (from Australia) to teach English. I wish she would get back in contact with me. If Poly Georgiou knows where she is, could you please let me know or tell Maro that I would love to hear from her. Thank you.

I have always wanted to visit the old nicosia airport , how did you get to walk round it ?
Nikitas Kypridemos 01-Nov-2011 21:34
My eye just fell on the name Maro Koutrouza.

I had a classmate called Maro Koutrouza in B'Astiki primary school in Famagusta. She had an older sister Niki. I wonder if it is the same Maro posting here.

Famagusta, for us who grew up there, is always in our thoughts. Unforgettable place.

Hi alexis, my name is Spyros Spyrou. I use to live opposite your house in Famagusta. We use to be friends before the invasion, do you remember me? We use to meet at the beach infront of your house. I use to go school at Xrisi Akti. Hope you remeber me - it's been so long!

Hope your well, I've seen all your pictures on your website which were nice to see after so many years.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Hi
I was at RAF Nicosia from late 1971 until late 1973.
I seem to remember the CSA aircraft and a team from Akrotri had to clear teh runway.
I was surprised to see the Cyprus airways Tridents as ithought the picture was of the Cyprus airways Trident taht hit the undershot and was then repaired and flown back as a BEA aircraft. I was on duty the night that the Egyptian aircraft crashed. A helicopter from Nicosia went up to view the scene witha medic but there was nothing that could be done. The Mountain rescue team from Akrotri then had to travel to start teh recovery.
Not nice but generally it was a great time and I was particularly impressed with the friendlyness of the Cypriots who made my life a rael pleasure for the two years out there. I even learnt to Ski opn Troodos
Maro Koutrouza 07-Aug-2009 03:49
Dear Alexis - I'm trying to get in contact with my best friend, Poly Georghiou Takoushi. I lost contact with her in 1992. I think Poly wrote to you last October.

Hope to catch up with you all. Love from Maro.

Hello Alexis,
It was a nice surprise to see photos of my father and some of his paintings. A couple of years ago, someone took some pictures of Manastiri as it is now. I'll scan them and send them to you.

H Alexis,

I enjoyed looking around your gallery. initially I was interested in the Sigma 8mm images as I am thinking of buying this lens for my 400D. Then I noticed the Kap gallery which is really interesting. I realise you use the intervalometer for the shutter release.

Best wishes Barry

I know it's a long shot, but here goes. I lived in Cyprus between 70 and 74, my parents and I lived in (if I can remember) Koumipa flats on John F Kennedy Avenue. Here comes the long shot bit! I was a 8 or 9 year old then and stared in an advert for condensed milk (Galla Sissi). I was wondering, if by any chance you would know of any archive of old TV ads from Cyprus.
All the best

thank you for the nice postcards you placed on this website. i was particularly interested to see ammohosto pictures, as i was born there before the war. i enjoyed looking at all picures.
peter coghlan 10-Sep-2006 06:44
Thankyou for an informative site.
In 1959 I lived in an apartment that was part of the Hadjisoteriou family home in Hippocrates St across the road from Alassi Beach. My father worked for the British government and I went to King Richard School in Dhekelia. I remember your parents (I think your Mother's name was Maroula?). They had a new baby - presumably you! We had a wonderful three years in Famagusta despite the situation at the time.

Guest 09-Aug-2006 04:07
For people who want to mark individual buildings and places on the satellite maps, there is an amazing application based on Google maps athttp://www.wikimapia.org

Basically, you can outline an area on the map and then enter a description. Satellite imagery of Varosha and Famagusta is in the coverage area.

For those who still remember individual buildings and places, it is an amazing way to bring the city back to life by annotating it for others.
clive morris 28-Jul-2006 19:47
what an excellent site!! myself and a few friends were hoping to visit next month as mistakenly thought that we might visit varosha - the greek side of famagusta. unfortunatley, it appears that we are unable to do so. we were stationed at 4 mile point in the sixties and many of lived in the town - kennedy avenue, miaoulis street, etc.
we are all cyrofiles and retain a great love of the area. many of us now live in cyprus - most around paphos but some in larnaca = the best of luck with the site

Tut tut tut...
What can i say Alexi, I am deeply disappointed in you!! I thought you might have learned something from spending soo much time with me and my sis, but obviously i was mistaken.. I feel that my nation has been abused and used. The achievement was great, but not that great for you to form a SOuth Croydon "GREEK" (capitals as well) possie. Please.. I feel very offended, and i am not sure i can handle the misery you have imposed on my innocent soul. I only hope that you are anintelligent enough person to learn from your mistakes, and improve for the better!! Its not too late to make up for your mistakes!! I feel that in this message i have been polite enough and have restrained from using any foul language. the rest has been said by my sister, i a way that i must admit, is rather up-front (I am very proud of her). I wish you all the best for the learning curve you are going to embark on. GOOD LUCK!!
Kind regards
Ias.
Danae P 07-Aug-2004 22:24
Good evening kind sir!
Just looking at your pictures and wish to make the following controversial comment_THEY ARE NOT GREEK, especially the Kastelanides boys!
Also What was that about the cypripot flag being in the picture?
Im sorry, did u see any cypriot players in the tournament???
hello???
Aside from the anger and offence that i felt toward some of the people pictured in your street schenes (we dont have greek skinheads!!!!!!!!!!) i must say some shots are extreemly well taken-I suppose nash did them??!!

Anywhooo got that out of my system! hope all is well enjoy your holiday and Nash thanks for your message below!!

loads of love *Danae!

Dear Alexis,
ý do not know how you found my e-mail, but ý was very happy to hear from old English School frýends. I trýed to fýnd one of your photos to remember exactly who you are. But ý am not very good wýth the computer anbd faýled to fýnd your pic.
Please confýrm my memory or correct me ýf ý am wrong. Are u the boy from Famagusta, short and a lýttlebýt fat(no offence - ý do not mean big! just a bit fatty. I remember you breakýng your arm once durýng skýýng on Troodos. Your most popular frýend was Evangelos?? I am not even exactly sure of the name. But was a well buýlt pallýkary boy.
Valýandes was one of the other names ý remember well from your adress list.His house was ýn Neapolý. Anyway, my regards to all English school frýends. I would love to host each and everyone of you when you are ýn the north. Althaugh we are not yet at the stage of establishýng a solutýon, ý belýeve that we are one step closer now. We ýn the North; wýll contýnue to put pressure on the occupatýon forces and the puppet Denktash regime,and we need your support.
Please let all my frýends know of my telephones. I am not wrýtýmg bthe adress, because when u are ýn the north just ask for Birinci to any body and you wýll surely be shown where to go.

Dear Alexi,
You don't know me. I'm Catherine Solomides' daughter. I'm studying in London now and she sent me the letter you wrote to Kufi and the link to your pictures. Of course I'm only nineteen so all I have seen of the north is pictures. I have to say the ones you took are really beautiful but also very sad for me because in spite of the unique opportunity that is before us right now, most people I have talked to seem to be so negative that I'm beginning to think again that all my generation are going to see of the north are pictures.
Thank you,
Elena
Catherine Solmides Georgiou 06-Nov-2002 13:29
Dear Alexis,
Many thanks for the photos. It was really an excellent idea. Also, thanks for letting us
shares the photos you took of Famagusta etc. Your first photo looks no different than the one I took 5 years ago.
Thanks and hope that it doen't take another 5 years before we meet again.
Philip Larkos 06-Nov-2002 07:44
Alexi, it was good to see you last Friday after such a long time. The photos from the reunion are excellent, equally good the ones from the North.
I visit London 3/4 times a year as I am the Chairman of our UK subsidiary, SFS International Securities Ltd which is based in North London. Lets try and meet during my next visit sometime in December with Costas Kaplanis also. My mobile no. is +35799651265.
Best regards.
Philip.
