Saint George boat in the EOKA National Struggle Museum, Chlorakas, Paphos, Cyprus:
EOKA Museum is a small museum on the coast close to St. George's Hotel. It can be
reached by heading North of the coast road from Paphos, and
is in the area known as Chlorakas (about halfway between
Paphos and
Coral Bay.
The museum commemorates the EOKA struggle
(1955 to
1959),
which ultimately resulted in the independence
of Cyprus from British rule.
The location of the museum is on the coast where
Colonel George Grivas and five others landed in
1955
to begin the EOKA guerilla struggle against the British.
Colonel Grivas and his supporters actually hoped for the
union (Enosis) of Cyprus with
Greece,
but ultimately the struggle resulted in the independence of
Cyprus.
Inside the museum are exhibits showing the history of the EOKA
and Enosis struggles, including photographs, firearms, newspapers, etc.
However, the actual boat used by Colonel Grivas, "Saint George",
which is housed in the museum building. The boat is 43 feet (14 meters)
long and 13 feet (4 meters) wide.
