A Route Within the Walls of Nicosia
The capital of Cyprus incorporates elements from many different empires and kingdoms that have claimed it over the centuries, starting from the Bronze Age. Visitors will follow the narrow and winding streets, which will lead them from the Cyprus Museum, with its collections of Neolithic and Roman exhibits, to the city walls, built in the early 17th century by the Venetians, which separate the old city from the modern one. Its is truly a place where the past is still alive! The visitor has endless options for delicious food and drinks along this route, while he can also find plenty of shops to wander in the city’s main streets.
