How Much Land do the UK bases take up of Greek Cyprus?

Looks like they have quite a bit of land. Any idea of the percentage of southern Cyprus? I know the bases take up 99 Square miles of the southern part of Cyprus.

Also why do the Cypriots tolerate them and seem more interested in collecting rent from them then removing them? Does this say more about the famous Cypriot character than anything?

The title "Turkish Cypriot administrated area" is not politically correct because is very well known that occupied Cyprus is controlled from the Turkish militarists regime of Ancara.Unfortunately Turkish propaganda is working very well .The right title is "Turkish army illegal military occupation zone".
