About this episode

The episode features an interview with author NK Chavush about the mysterious Blue House in North Cyprus.

Tucked in the hills between Çamlıbel and Güzelyurt in North Cyprus lies one of the island’s most mysterious and eccentric landmarks: The Blue House , or Mavi Köşk . This striking 1957 villa wasn’t just a summer retreat—it was the private hideaway of Paulo “Byron” Pavlides , a Greek Cypriot lawyer, businessman, and alleged arms smuggler with deep political connections and an even deeper love for luxury. Author NK Chavush returns with a great thriller based on this notorious place. Listen here to his interview with Roger and Sara
