In July 2021, Helen Barrett contributed a piece of writing to the Daphne du Maurier website entitled Last night I went to Platres again. In this article, Helen told us what she had been able to find out about Daphne du Maurier’s time in the Troodos mountains, at the Forest Park Hotel in Platres, Cyprus in the 1930s, when she was accompanying her husband on a military tour of duty to Alexandria in Egypt.
Helen has now submitted a companion article called Finding Daphne. This time she describes her own recent visit to the Forest Park Hotel, Platres and provides us with photographs, so that we can all imagine what it is like, up in the cool Troodos mountains and at the Forest Park Hotel.
