Nicosia

Cyprus, Cyprus

Nicosia (Greek: Λευκωσία; Turkish: Lefkoşa) is the capital of Cyprus and is the largest city by far.

While it may not boast the same abundance of archaeological sites and lively beaches as other parts of Cyprus, the city's Old Town, with its museums and churches, is still a pleasant place to explore. What's more, with fewer tourists than the resorts on the southern coast, Nicosia maintains a more authentically Cypriot atmosphere.

Take a stroll through the city's charming streets, where you'll find delightful cafes serving traditional Cypriot coffee, as well as woodworking shops tucked away in unexpected corners. And don't miss the opportunity to visit the Green Line, the boundary that divides North from South. As the financial and administrative center of the island, Nicosia is a haven for shopping enthusiasts.

    The BEST Cypriot restaurant on the island. The small kitchen is run by an old grandma and the same staff for the past 20 years. The prices are not only very reasonable, but you will get an authentic taste of what Cypriots eat for dinner every night. The rotating menu has specials every day, allowing you to come back multiple times on a trip and get new local flavors every time.
