<div id="ygrps-yiv-1728508671">Funny this should have been discussed yesterday, as I visited the area<br/>
around Kokkina yesterday and took photos of Kokkina and the surrounding<br/>
countryside, which I will show you all as soon as I can.  I&#39;m afraid I<br/>
have no photos of boundary markers though.<br/>

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Kokkina<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Hi,<br/>
<br/>
My names Andrew, I&#39;m from Scotland and have been following posts for a<br/>
while with interest.<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;ve unfortunately not been to as many borders as I&#39;d like!<br/>
<br/>
But on a holiday to Cyprus two years ago, we drove North from Paphos to<br/>
try to get to Kato Pyrgos which is directly on the Green Line.<br/>
<br/>
As you approach Kokkina, the road turns sharply right away from the<br/>
shore to go round the enclave.  Then, you can see signs saying &#39;No<br/>
Photographs - military area&#39; etc. as you climb the hill.<br/>
<br/>
You then can clearly see some border markers on the left hand side of<br/>
the road which I imagine marks the UN Boundary.  After this there was a<br/>
junction and I turned left towards the sign for Kato Pyrgos.<br/>
<br/>
To my surprise, there was a border station manned with who I found <br/>
out later were Argentinian peacekeepers.  I think it would have been <br/>
OK to carry on through this but I &#39;Chickened out&#39; and turned in the <br/>
opposite direction in case I had made a mistake.  In hindsight I <br/>
think I should have carried on, as you must have to travel a short <br/>
distance through the UN buffer zone to get to KP.<br/>
<br/>
Next time I will do this!<br/>
<br/>
Also, I have a photo which I will try to post which shows a large<br/>
Turkish flag on the hillside of Kokkina, which can clearly be seen <br/>
from the Greek side.<br/>
<br/>
Cheers!<br/>
<br/>
Andrew<br/>
