Tour description
Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus and the last divided capital in the world, split between the Greek south and Turkish north by a UN buffer zone that runs through the heart of its old town. Ringed by star-shaped Venetian walls, it is a fascinating and poignant city. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and character.
You will wander the old town within the Venetian walls, walk the lively Ledra Street toward the dividing line, and hear about the island's long and complex history. Along the way you will discover the crafts, churches and everyday life of the city. Unique and historic, Nicosia is a fascinating city to explore on foot.
