Kyrenia Old Town
Embark on an extraordinary full-day exploration of Nicosia, Europe's last divided capital, with convenient starts from either Kyrenia or Nicosia! This unique tour will whisk you through both sides of the city, revealing its rich history, vibrant culture, and captivating contrasting neighborhoods.
Our adventure begins on Ledra Street, a lively pedestrian avenue in the heart of the old town, buzzing with souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants. We'll delve into the historic section of this bustling thoroughfare. Next, we step into the past at the Leventis Municipal Museum, where captivating exhibitions span over 5,000 years, from the Chalcolithic era to modern times. Discover a rich collection of artifacts, from traditional clothing to everyday items and historical photographs.
Ancient Walls, Historic Homes & The Green Line
The journey continues to the magnificent Venetian Walls, Nicosia's best-preserved fortifications. These impressive walls encircle the old city, stretching for 5 kilometers (3 miles) with heights up to 12 meters, forming a circular defense system punctuated by 11 evenly spaced bastions—a true architectural marvel!
We then delve into Southern Nicosia, visiting iconic landmarks like Famagusta Gate, the historic House of Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios, and the poignant Green Line, the buffer zone that divides the city.
Ottoman Grandeur & Vibrant Quarters
Next, prepare to be captivated by Buyuk Han, a stunning example of Ottoman architecture built in 1572 as a grand caravanserai. Here, you'll have the chance to admire traditional handmade crafts and truly soak up the vibrant, historic atmosphere.
Just steps away, we'll visit the majestic St. Sophia Cathedral (Selimiye Camii), a site that beautifully showcases centuries of changing cultures. Our exploration continues through the bustling Grand Bazaar, the charming Arasta Quarter, past the ancient Venetian Column, and into the picturesque Arabahmet Quarter.
After a full day uncovering the layers of this fascinating city, we'll return you to our original meeting point, concluding your unforgettable exploration of Nicosia!
