Varosha, Cyprus

Up to the year 1974, the seaside resort town of Varosha in Cyprus was known for its vivacious nightlife, which attracted celebrities such as Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor. After the level of tension between Turkey and Greece reached its peak in 1974, Turkish forces invaded the region. To this day, the town has not been recaptured in any way, and trespassers run the danger of being shot by Turkish military personnel.

Point Nepean National Park, Australia

You are free to explore the majority of this park on your own by foot, but owing to the wild character of the area and the potentially hazardous circumstances, including perilous waterways, some sections are off-limits to visitors in general. As a result of its secluded location on the westernmost point of the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, it is home to a large number of endangered animal species.
