Battle of Pentemili beachhead

Pentemili is the Cypriot beach where troops first landed on the morning of 20 July 1974 in the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. It is located 5 miles (8 km) west of Kyrenia, thus the name. For three days, heavy fighting took place around the beachhead between Turkish and Greek Cypriot forces.
