Description
Discover the enchanting village of Lefkara, renowned for its traditional lacework and silver craftsmanship. Explore narrow cobblestone streets adorned with charming houses and delve into the world of skilled artisans. Witness the creation of intricate lace patterns and discover the secrets of Cypriot silverware. Next, visit St. John’s Cathedral in Nicosia. The Cathedral offers a glimpse into the spiritual and cultural heritage of Cyprus, making it a meaningful destination for those interested in history and religious art. St. John’s Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint John the Theologian, is a historic Greek Orthodox cathedral. It was originally built in the late 17th century and has undergone renovations and expansions over the years. The cathedral is a prime example of Cypriot Byzantine architecture with influences from the Venetian and Ottoman periods. The exterior features traditional stone construction, while the interior is adorned with beautiful frescoes and icons. The Green Line in Nicosia, Cyprus, refers to the United Nations Buffer Zone that divides the city into its northern and southern parts. It’s a symbol of the island’s complex political history. While the term “Green Line” might evoke images of an actual line, it’s more accurately a demilitarized zone, monitored by the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP). There are specific viewpoints and observation points where visitors can get a view of the Green Line and see the physical division of the city. Enjoy two hours of free time to explore the Old Quarter of Nicosia, particularly Laiki Geitonia. Wander through the charming streets of Laiki Geitonia. Admire the well-preserved traditional Cypriot architecture, with houses adorned with bougainvillea and traditional wooden shutters. Explore in your free time the local shops offering traditional Cypriot crafts, souvenirs, and handmade goods. Look for unique items such as lace, pottery, and local delicacies. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the traditional tavernas or cafes in Laiki Geitonia. Taste authentic Cypriot dishes and enjoy the laid-back ambiance of the neighborhood. If you bring your passport, it is also possible to cross the green line to visit the occupied part of Nicosia (optional). To visit the occupied part of Nicosia you need Passport or EU ID (only for EU citizens) required.Includes
