A Taste of Nicosia with a wish for more... - The Taste of Nicosia tour with Nelin was a delight. We had a really great time learning about Cyprus and Nicosia in general and also about the present political situation. We saw most of the Northern part of the old city including walking the western wall and crossing the north gate. The coffee and food was excellent, especially the kebab. Nelin was very friendly and easy going, when we parted it felt like leaving a good friend. Mona & Rickard Sweden
