Varosha Beach Resort, Famagusta, Cyprus
The once-bustling resort town of Varosha was then a popular tourist attraction and attracted the likes of Brigitte Bardot up until the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus. While the city of Famagusta is experiencing a sudden boom in tourism, Varosha remains abandoned as it was when it was evacuated in 1874: with clothing still hanging in stores and model cars in garages.

They built it to house the Bulgarian Communist Party and included posters of Lenin and Marx, as well as red stars adorning the ceiling. It was abandoned and closed off in 1989, but many people still sneak in to take a look at the UFO-looking building.
