Nicosia or Lefkosia as it is sometimes known, is the largest city in Cyprus. There is lots to see and do here, from visiting Selimiya mosque to seeing St John’s Cathedral. Nicosia is the last remaining city in the world that is still physically divided, with a United Nations buffer zone between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot sections. Therefore people still refer to this city as divided into the north and south.
There is so much to do in this city of blended cultures, which is hugged by its Venetian walls. The Pedieos River and Kyrenia mountains provide beautiful views for your eyes. Depending on the length of time you have to spend here, be sure to put the Cyprus Museum on your list of things to see as some finds date back to the 7th-century BC. Buyuk Han is a captivating building from the Ottoman era, which now houses a thriving market.
There are many cafes and restaurants, where you will be able to sit, relax and watch the world go by. Not to mention savoring the local cuisine and eating dishes you haven’t tasted before.
