I spent some time on the Greek side of Cyprus during the Israel- Lebanon conflict in the early 80’s.
Despite the war and actually being able to see smoke rise from strikes in Lebanon, had a very interesting and enjoyable vacation. Great seafood, friendly people, cheap wine.
First experience with so many topless women at the pool and beach. Wives and girlfriends of various UN troops on assignment. Memorable experience!
Regarding topless women. 1976, Nice, France, on the beach. Many western women sunbathing topless. Skin that had never seen the sun before. Way over cooked. Very sorry the next day.
