Nicosia for Visitors

courtesy worldcityphotos

 

You can walk to the old part of the city and still see the wall that divides the country's capital.

Apart from the political issues, which, thankfully, usually remain sequestered behind negotiation table doors rather than actual social issues, Nicosia thrives as a pleasant and wonderfully Cypriot city to visit.

Although not on the beach, Nicosia has a wealth of attractions and some world class restaurants to boot. And given its less-touristy nature, the city remains steeped and unfettered in the tradition of Cyprus and Western civilization.

It should be noted that it is able for the traveler to take a day trip to Nicosia if you are staying at the beach, but then you would miss the city's hidden offerings. From a well entrenched Greek Cypriot nightlife, to the unusual Caberets in the old city, you shouldn't miss spending at least a few days here.

Hotels - Our three recommended hotels in Nicosia, with contact information and our review of them.

Pictures - Our collected pictures of the country of Cyprus.

Restaurants - In the old city, there are some great small restaurants located on cobblestone streets. The Milano and Milanese restaurants are a local favorite and very good. Presented here are our top choices for eating in the city.

Sites of the City - Explore where to go when you visit Nicosia, from the Old Walls of the city to the excitement of the traditional Laiki Yitonia district.
