Description:

The world's last divided city is a tale of 2 cities, changing with the times and successfully mixing old and new. Spend a day shopping at the famous Ledra Street and Laiki Geitonia and explore the capital at your own pace—learn about its history, see iconic sights, and cross the famous Green Line.

Your day begins with a scenic drive through the Cypriot countryside, heading into the capital and heart of the island. Enclosed by noble 16th-century walls and scattered with museums, medieval churches, and architectural buildings, Nicosia oozes charm, charisma, a rich historic background.

It is now time to explore the bustling Ledra Street and shop the best Cyprus has to offer. Step from store to store and don't miss a visit to Laiki Geitonia, here, admire the charming house restoration that mark the traditional Cypriot urban architecture. Stroll through the narrow winding streets and perhaps visit a tavern for traditional food.

There is also time for another highlight of your tour, crossing the famed Green Line into North Nicosia. Crossing the buffer zone between North and South Nicosia was restricted until recently, but is now quite simple.

Explore North Nicosia—a part of Turkish occupied Northern Cyprus, calm and rich in cultural heritage with the walled city boasting many attractions. Visit the Selimiye Mosque, formerly known as the Ayias Sofia Church, and stop at Market Square, where you can shop for a memorable souvenir.
