Jesper,

It's questionable whether the aforementioned territory (which I suspect is
the radar station on Mount Olympus) can really be claimed as an enclave.
The treaty that established the Republic of Cyprus provided for two areas
of sovereign territory (the Akrotiri and Dhekelia SBAs), plus 38 so-called
retained sites elsewhere on the island. Since then, 25 have been
transferred to Cyprus, the most recent being a former bombing range near
Larnaca airport in 2001. I'm not sure the retained sites can be considered
to be anything other than an unlimited leasehold.

The remaining sites are at:

Mount Olympus
Troodos (2 sites)
Nicosia airfield, plus water supply on coast near Larnaca
Outskirts of Limassol, plus water supply
Water supply at Kissousa (for Akrotiri SBA)
In Limassol in Paphos Road
Famagusta Port
Famagusta (3 sites)
