so far as we know
no one has ever visited or even tried to locate any of the 4 de
facto tripoints of cyprus
2 of them being british & greek & united nations buffer zone
& the other 2 british & turkish & united nations buffer zone
all situated not far to the northeast of larnaca

any word on any of these would be most welcome here at bp

bon voyage & good luck
