Foi assim que tudo começou. Lá pelas sete horas da noite, o corpo já estava pronto para receber a...more
The Police reunited for an appearance on the 2007 Grammy Awards Show. Anyone familiar with Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland knew that a Grammy Awards Show would never be reason enough for the original band members to come together and suddenly decide to perform on television.

Esentepe is home to a brand new, international standard, championship golf course - furthermore it is the location for the very first marina being built in Northern Cyprus.Naturally enough these two factors alone create great reason for property in Esentepe to be highly prized, but there are a number of other reasons making this location worthy of closer inspection.
