Join an unforgettable tour to Nicosia, the world's last divided capital. Your journey begins with a scenic drive past the grand Venetian walls that encircle the old city and through the restored Famagusta Gate to visit St. John's Cathedral. This beautiful 14th-century Byzantine church is adorned with unique frescoes and built on the ruins of a Benedictine Monastery. You'll then wander through the heart of the old quarter, exploring the charming medieval narrow streets filled with beautifully listed buildings and traditional craft shops known as "Laiki Geitonia".
Next, you'll head to the popular pedestrian shopping area, Ledra Street, where you'll have plenty of time to shop, explore, and have lunch while soaking up the vibrant city atmosphere. From here, you'll have the option to cross the infamous "Green Line" checkpoint into Turkish-occupied areas to discover the surviving Ayia Sofia church, now turned mosque, the bustling market square, and even the island's largest caravanserai, the Buyuk Han.
Throughout the tour, you'll learn about the fascinating history, culture, and traditions of Nicosia from an expert guide. Whether you choose to stay in the southern sector or venture across the Green Line, this tour offers a unique glimpse into the vibrant city of Nicosia.
