• Buyuk Han - Cyprus’ best-preserved example of Ottoman caravanserai architecture. The Han was built to provide accommodation for travelers from Anatolia and other parts of Cyprus. Today the Great Inn has been revived as a thriving arts center, consisting of several galleries and workshops, and has once again become the hub of North Lefkosia’s Old City bustle. Folklore dance shows, piano recitals, and drama displays are also common nowadays within the walls, and this attraction is a must-see when visiting Nicosia.

This guided tour provides a distinctive exploration of the divided city, connecting its Greek and Turkish regions. The journey begins in the UN-controlled area, where the renowned Ledra Palace Hotel stands as a silent testament to history. Once a beacon of luxury, this building, now marked by bullet holes, serves as the headquarters for UN peacekeepers.

The tour continues along the “Green Line,” the UN-controlled buffer zone that divides the city. Participants will observe daily life along this historic boundary, a compelling reminder of the city’s multifaceted history.

The route then takes visitors to the Selimiye Mosque, formerly the Cathedral of St. Sophia, a stunning edifice that reflects the city’s intricate heritage. The tour also includes a visit to the historic Buyuk Han caravanserai and the bustling indoor market, offering insights into the daily life and culture of both communities. This experience is a profound reflection of the city’s past, present, and the promising signs of a future reunification.
