Tour DescriptionThis tour is a unique and memorable discovery of the real Nicosia, Explore both sides of the Green Line in the heart of the old town of the last divided capital city in the world.
We start with a welcome snack and introduction to the tour at the Paphos Gate before we take a short walk along the "Green Line" which has divided the country for almost 50 years. See abandoned houses and deserted streets as nature reclaims this no-mans land. We then cross into the Occupied North at the famous Ledra street crossing point. In the northern part of the city we visit the Buyuk Han. Once a great inn which travelers would use as a place of rest on their journeys across Cyprus. It has now been converted into a fantastic craft market. The next landmark is the Saint Sophia Cathedral dating back to 1209. Our final stop in the North is the Samanbahce Quarter. This charming neighbourhood of whitewashed terraced cottages was Cyprus' first social housing project. Built using local materials and with careful consideration given to the island's climatic conditions, resulting in traditional mudbrick walls and thatched reed ceilings. Crossing back to the South, we will enjoy a walking food tour lunch with 4 delicious food stops around the old city where you can discover tasty Cypriot cuisine made the traditional way. Our last and most fun experience is the Segway Tour of the old town. This unique experience is a fantastic way to get around the back streets and really see all the marvels of this wonderfully atmospheric city.
