Nicosia, Cyprus
Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus, located in the north of the southern side. The
city is divided in two because the green line runs straight through it for
almost 60 years already. The green line is the UN-forced buffer zone, a kind of
no man’s land between the north and the south side. The places we recommend
visiting in Nicosia are: * The Green Line – A strip of no-mans-land that splits
the city into two * Nicosia’s old town – Narrow streets and interesting old
buildings * The Venetian wall & the Famagusta gate – These walls, built in the
Middle Age surround the old town of Nicosia * Shacolas Tower observatory – From
the tower, you can look around 360 degrees over both parts of Nicosia

Léfkara, Cyprus
Lefkara is a small town with real cute streets filled with Greek vibes and
shouldn’t be missed during your Cyprus travel. It’s also the birthplace of the
Cypriotic lace called Lefkaritiko. We would advise visiting this town as a
little detour when you make your way from Larnaca to Limassol or the other way
around. It’s the perfect place to wander around in the cute streets, have a chat
with the friendly locals, and get some souvenirs.
