My dad worked at Akrotiri (RAF) from 1963 - 1966 and we lived in Limassol and my brother and I went to school at Berengaria.

Is it possible to enter the area and move normally around seaside?

I was a member of the United States Air Force, stationed at RAF Croughton, near Banbury, U.K. from 1975 to 1978. In late February of 1976, I was asked by my Commander to go to RAF Akrotiri in support of the U2 Spy Plane mission there. We lived in barracks within walking distance of the hangars and flight line. There was three of us, our team chief worked five days a week, and the other two of us worked nights, three days on and three days off. During my days off, I would join some other men and we would go to a place called The Fisherman's Club right on the ocean, as well as a place the locals called Sharks Cove. Supposedly, sharks would come there to have babies during certain times of the year. I wanted to see this but didn't get to. Also, I remember eating what locals called Kabobs, a piece of Pita bread cut in half and a pocket formed and stuffed with some kind of sausage and sliced lamb with shredded lettuce and seasoned with lemon pepper. Oh man, it was great. There was a restaurant near our barracks called The Lady L and they had the best food there. We either ate there or the kabob stand or sometimes we would go to the base commissary and buy a few groceries and grill out. I still remember that time with such great enjoyment. Sadly, not long after I left in July, 1976, the plane crashed and several people were killed. I knew the pilot, but not the others. Does anyone else know about The Fisherman's Club, Lady L's, and the kabob? How about Sharks Cove? I know it changed a lot years ago and I'm sure I wouldn't even recognize it today, but seeing this video brought back many good memories. Thanks for reading this.

I was born in Cyprus my Father was stationed here

I like Greece more without british bases.

0:14 overtook station cmd on that bend on my Honda XR 500 in 1987, 8 week ban from riding on camp, dont know what upset him, was only doing 80MPH.

Time the British pulled out.

my spiritual home, left my heart there in 1983. so much has changed tho

56 years ago was here as a 12 year old and the place was heaving. Changed a lot as well. Ce'st la vie. Thanks for posting.

Wish I was back in Cyprus 🇨🇾. I was based at Dhekelia but worked a lot in Akrotiri and Episkopi engineering.

Thanks for this. This brings back so many good memories especially with the snug beach
