See the sights of southern Nicosia, the last divided capital in the world, on this guided walking tour. Your first stop is St John's Cathedral, built in the Franco-Byzantine style unique to Cyprus, with a simple brick exterior. The inside, however, tells a completely different story, with its ornate chandeliers and gilded woodwork showing off 18th century Cypriot craftsmanship . Afterwards, you'll visit the Cyprus Folk Art Museum, housed in the old Archbishopric Palace.
Next, you'll enter the Venetian city walls to stroll through Laiki Geitonia. Here, you can get a feel for the old Nicosia as you tour the winding streets – you'll feel like you're visiting a little village rather than the heart of a city as you pass by all the traditionally restored houses. Stroll along with your guide and listen to tales of the city's history before some free time to have lunch and a wander around the shops on Ledra Street – named after the ancient kingdom of Ledra, which was located where Nicosia now stands.
