The men travelled together in a United Nations helicopter. They toured the Turkish area of Paphos. On the way, several Greek Cypriots waved banners and a kiss for Mr. Denktash from several Turkish Cypriots.
Soon after the visit, Mr. Denktash said talks in Vienna, aimed at achieving a settlement on the island might have to be postponed. They are due to start on 5 June.
Mr. Denktash said has side might not have time to prepare its case because Turkish Cypriot constitutional experts attended the European Human Rights Commission in Strasbourg.
The Vienna meeting will be the second in the Austrian capital between Mr. Denktash and Mr. Clerides, in the presence of United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim.
