About Kokkina
Kokkina is a coastal exclave (pene-exclave) of the de facto Northern Cyprus, and a former Turkish Cypriot enclave in Cyprus. It is surrounded by mountainous territory, with the Morphou Bay on its northern flank. Kokkina sits several kilometres west of mainland Northern Cyprus and is a place with symbolic significance to Turkish Cypriots, because of the events of August 1964. In 1976, all Kokkina inhabitants were transferred to Yialousa and the exclave has since functioned as a North Cyprus Defence Force military camp for the Turkish forces.
