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.

Very long travel time, for the limited time to see a couple of monuments, understand road works etc can’t be helped but a long time sat on an uncomfortable coach. Group far to big for the attraction smaller groups would mean you could see and hear more. After doing the Limassol trip last year this was very poor, sorry but I would not recommend it. Also we were told by the rep at the hotel that the boarder was closed, however it clearly wasn’t.

It was a very long trip from Coral bay and picking up people in Limassol added almost 2 hours overall to the day especially in the morning. I accept you are trying to fill a coach but we both thought that was going a bit too far

Guide (Kris) was very informative and knowledgable about the history of Cyprus. Suggestion for lunch would have been great and there was probably too much free time in Nicosia - we could have left for home 30 minutes earlier
