Nicosia is the last divided capital in the world and a unique destination full of historical richness and cultural contrasts. The city offers a fascinating blend of Byzantine churches, Ottoman architecture and modern Cypriot culture that meet in harmonious ways. The historic inner city lies hidden behind the impressive Venetian walls, which still define the character of this ancient centre. Walking through the winding streets, you'll discover countless religious monuments and trading establishments that tell centuries of history. Taste authentic Cypriot mezze in traditional restaurants and tavernas where local flavours take centre stage. The unique atmosphere of Nicosia is defined by the division between north and south, which gives the city a special place on the world map. This makes Nicosia a must-visit destination for culture lovers, history enthusiasts and travellers seeking authentic Mediterranean experiences off the beaten tourist track.
