Great video, many thanks George, magical memories of living there from July 1994 to Jun 1994, lived on Dhekelia and worked up on 33SU Ay Nik.. Hopefully will get back out later on this year and re-visit Lambros Chippy too :-)
Thanks so much for this video, George. Brings back some great memories of being stationed here in 2000. Can't wait to come back next year and revisit a few places and visit alot more new places.
Hi George and sue thanks for the video if you went right at the roundabout it would have taken you to Richmond village where I lived next to the saddle club I spent a lot of time at the sailing club my dad loved sailing. I was also in the dhekelia shark's swimming club and the scouts.
The Dhekelia power station is the smallest of four Cypriot enclaves inside the Dhekelia army base. The power plant, built by the colonial British government in 1955 next to the army base, became a part of Cyprus in 1960 although the UK retained control of the surrounding base area and the road that runs through the plant. The border of 933 metres is the 9th shortest land border in the world.
Two of my best freinds lived and died in Cyprus Both are buried in Cyprus I used to visit them over the years watching your video takes me back to my visits thank you

Hello, George! I have been to Dhekelia on December, 1st. I got to the power plant by bus 425 and then walked to Larnaca along the entire coast, except for that part near the military garrison. It was a great walk! At @12:25 right after the fuel station, you missed one place worth mentioning. This is John's Way. In 2017, Corporal John Fernandez died in that place, he was hit by a car. You can see a small memorial in his honor and a reminder to pedestrians that it is better to walk on the sidewalk.
According to the SBA Gazette you are allowed to film even the military camps from public, Photography and film 17.-(1) It is important that police officers are aware, in exercising their counter-terrorism powers, that- (a) members of the public and media do not need a permit to file or photograph in public places; (b) it is not an offence for a member of the public or journalist to take photographs/film of a public building; (c) the police have no power to stop the filing or photographing of incidents or police personnel. (2) Police officers can under section 5 stop and search someone taking photographs/film within an authorised area, just as they can stop and search any other member of the public in the proper exercise of their discretion in accordance with the legislation and provisions of this Code. But an authorisation itself does not prohibit the taking of photographs or digital images. (3) On the rare occasion that an officer reasonably suspects that photographs/film are being taken as part of hostile terrorist reconnaissance, action under section 1 of the Official Secrets Act 1911 may be appropriate or an arrest should be considered. Whilst terrorists may undertake hostile reconnaissance as part of their planning and this could entail the use of a camera or video equipment, it is important that police officers do not automatically consider photography/filming as suspicious behaviour. The size of the camera/video equipment should not be considered as a risk indicator. Quite surprisingly, considering the reaction I had for taking a photo of a Cyprus Police car in Ayia Napa
@@CYPRUSINSIGHT everyday after shift got a bag of chips, six days a week and then a lot of times I would eat what mom had cooked too, and I was a stick thin carefree teenager, happy days George, I will get myself back to Cyprus and meet up with you for a slow beer in my favourite place Protaras maybe late next year. Going to Zante end of July can’t wait👍👍👍ευχαριστω Γιώργος
