Overview of your Nicosia tour:

Experience a unique city stroll, delving into Nicosia frozen in time. Join me as we explore the "green line, " observing life as it has evolved on either side of this historic divide. You'll gain insights into the current state of the Buffer Zone, uncovering hidden streets and witnessing the iconic Venetian walls that encircle the old city. Our meeting point, conveniently situated near the old city and the Ledra Palace Hotel Checkpoint marks the starting point of our journey. As we venture into the buffer zone and explore the southern part of the city, we'll trace the path of the infamous "Green line, " a barrier separating Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities. From the grandeur of the Ledra Palace Hotel to the revitalized Ledra Street, adorned with abandoned buildings bearing the scars of history, our walk offers a glimpse into a divided city slowly reconnecting. Our exploration concludes in the old quarter, near the Ledra Street checkpoint. This tour can also be customized.
