Description

Our first stop will be the archaeological site of Choirokoitia, a remarkably well-preserved settlement from the Neolithic Age that has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. The site is known as one of the most important and best preserved prehistoric sites of the eastern Mediterranean. We will enjoy a coffee break and continue our journey to the capital of Cyprus – Nicosia. You will observe modern buildings and the pulsating life of the capital combined with the nostalgic atmosphere, the traditional houses and tavernas in the winding streets of the old town. We will visit the Cathedral of St. John from the 17th century with its fantastic frescoes, which, will leave a great impression on you. Right next to it we will see the Archbishop’s Palace, a two - storey stone building in Neo - Byzantine style housing the offices of the archdiocese and the residence of the archbishop. We will walk through the narrow streets of Laiki Gitonia – the traditional neighbourhood inside the city walls. The guide will walk with you along Ledra street up to the crossing point in the buffer zone known as Green Line. We will enjoy our free time in the old town with its variety of shops, cafes, tavernas and various historical sites. You will have the opportunity to visit the observatory on the 11th floor of one of the tallest buildings in Nicosia. History lovers can visit the Nicosia Museum. Or you can simply enjoy your lunch selecting from a wide range of restaurants with local or other cuisines. We will then return back to the hotels.
