This is not a regular city walk, but a passage through a town frozen in time. It will give you an insight into the current situation of the Buffer Zone “Green Line” off the beaten track, on streets that are hard to discover without the experience of a local guide. You will see the Venetian walls and how they form a boarder around the Old City, so unusual that once seen on a map will never be forgotten as a design synonymous with the unique shape of this ancient fortification. On our walk we will explore the Southern side of the city and follow the infamous “Green line” that cuts through the centre, separating the city into southern and northern sections. This division has kept the two major communities, of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots apart for more than four decades. Our journey begins at the Ledra Palace Hotel known in its era as the largest and most majestic hotels of the capital. You will witness life having evolved along either side of this schism, something once impossible to do until recent agreements between the two sides to open border crossings. We will explore Ledra Street located at heart of the aforementioned walled city now once again rekindled to one of the most popular pedestrian commercial streets accented by abandoned buildings reclaimed by nature through decades of lost time scarred by bullet holes, military outposts and barricades. Other things to note Kindly note that our walk could last between 3.5-4 hours with our break, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes! Group Tours are also offered with a slightly varied itinerary, tailored to your needs. Please ask for details and all arrangements can be made.

This is going to be an exiting walk with a local, explaining and sharing all the secrets and magic of Old town Nicosia. We will walk besides the "Green Line" of division and talk about all the history and how it has effected us locals, seeing our beloved capital divided for 46+ years, the impact it has had on our lives and our hopes for the future. We will stay within the medieval walls, walking in an a circular direction, visiting and talking about all important historical and religious points of interest. Estimated time is between 3 and 4 hours depending on group's pace. We will be making a short coffee/ refreshment break in between in a traditional local coffee shop. Suitable for all ages and children, able to walk for 3hours with small breaks. Other things to note: If you like hard-core historical facts and dates, this tour is not for you!

If an alternative date and time than the ones suggested is suitable to you, don't hesitate to ask me, and hopefully I can accomodate you on an alternative time and date!

Visit us at our traditional stone-built Aperanti Agrotourism and join me (Sara) and my mother-in-law Maroulla in making the cheese that every Cypriot is proud of: halloumi cheese ! Maroulla is 70 years old and will bring to the experience the knowledge of the hand-made procedure that has been passed to her family from generation to generation. You will be able to assist us in some of the steps and to try the freshly-made cheeses as soon as they are out of the pot ! And off course you will get soft skin by dipping your hand in the warm milk inside the big pot! Anari cheese (similar to ricotta) is also produced as a by-product during the same process. At the end of the process, you will try both cheeses directly out of the pot and you will also taste some of our other products (home-made jams, olive pies, olive oil, olives in brine) and enjoy our home-made fresh lemonade. I will also take you for a short guided walk around our village and you will learn its history and how people were living here 100 years ago. Other things to note Contact us if you are interested in any date that is not listed. Also let us know if you have any children as they pay a discount price.
