Duration:
10:00 hours
Description
Nicosia is a fascinating city to explore – offering you a glimpse of two very different worlds.
This tour starts in the Cypriot southern area and passes the 'Green Line' buffer zone to explore the northern part of Nicosia.
Your first stop is the St John's Cathedral built in the Franco-Byzantine style – unique to Cyprus – and the Cyprus Folk Art Museum, housed in the premises of the old Archbishopric Palace. Next up is a walking tour through the historic streets of Laiki Geitonia inside the Venetian city walls. It's a maze of winding streets with churches, squares and ornate buildings, and feels more like a village than the heart of a city,
After passing the Green Line to the north, you'll hear tales of the city's history and culture as you tick off some of the main sites. Then, walk back into the southern area to Ledra Street and embrace modern city life under your own steam.
Highlights
- St John's Cathedral and Cyprus Folk Art Museum
