Excursion to Nicosia
You'll visit Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, to find out about the turbulent history of one of the world’s last divided cities. You'll be taken on a walking tour through the partially car-free old town within the Venetian Walls and cross the UN buffer zone into occupied, northern Cyprus. Embrace the lively modern city life, as well as its history and culture. Rummage through the shops or check out the city views from the observation tower. Your guide will give you its history and low-down as you tick off its best bits, like Laiki Yeitonia, Ledra Street, Leventis Museum, the Ayia Sofia Church and the Market Square.
