Nicosia for Visitors
Nicosia is often not a part of a tourist's agenda when visiting Cyprus, most people prefer the beautiful beaches to the country's inland capital but there is much to be explored in Nicosia for anyone willing to take a few days to see. You can still walk to the wonderful old part of the city and see the wall that divides the country's capital as well as enjoy the newly redone restaurant and tourism zone in the old city that makes for a very enjoyable evening of dining, walking and meeting people. 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.
