Transport
Good: guide was great. Driver/coach also great. Felt safe. Good planning with breaks for refreshments to/from Nicosia. Problem: this is a long day. Paphos is 2 hours each way with perfect driving conditions. With hotel pickups and traffic woes it becomes 3 hours depending on which hotel you are in. Preparation required.
Nicosia is a fascinating city to explore – offering you a glimpse of two very different worlds. This tour starts in the Cypriot southern area and passes the 'Green Line' buffer zone to explore the northern part of Nicosia.
Your first stop is the St. John's Cathedral built in Franco-Byzantine style. Next up is a walking tour through the historic streets of Laiki Geitonia inside the Venetian city walls. It's a maze of winding streets with churches, squares and ornate buildings.
After passing the Green Line, you'll hear tales of the city's history and culture as you tick off some of the main sites. Then, pass back into the southern area to Ledra Street and embrace modern city life under your own steam.
