Additional Information

As the world’s final bifurcated capital, Nicosia provides an intriguing journey through two distinct cultures. This excursion commences from the Greek Cypriot southern portion and traverses the Green Line demarcation to explore the Turkish-controlled north.

Kickstarting your tour with the Franco-Byzantine styled St John’s Cathedral - an architectural distinction pertinent to Cyprus, and the Cyprus Folk Art Museum embedded in the archaic Archbishopric Palace. Navigate next through the historically enriched lanes of Laiki Geitonia within the Venetian city fortifications. Meandering streets with churches, plazas and decorative buildings, it curiously mirrors a hamlet rather than the city center,

Transitioning from the Green Line to the north, become immersed in enthralling anecdotes of the city’s past and traditions while marking the chief landmarks - among them the Market Square. Lastly, step back into the southern sector towards Ledra Street and soak in contemporary city life at your own leisurely pace.

awesome experince - The visit to the blue lagoon and to swim in it was brilliant. The journey from Limassol to Paphos was educative with the driver giving us much knowledge along the way. Also, tasted fresh grapes from the farmlands, and then has sweet smell of some spices along the way.

See above - Good trip far too much walking for a disabled person. Guide great but heat was unbearable as its hotter inland for those that don't cope with that worth remembering. I have fibromyalgia so it was too much for me.
