What to expect

Nicosia is a fascinating city to explore – offering you a glimpse of two very different worlds. This tour starts in the Cypriot southern area and passes the 'Green Line' buffer zone to explore the northern part of Nicosia.

Your first stop is the St. John's Cathedral built in Franco-Byzantine style. Next up is a walking tour through the historic streets of Laiki Geitonia inside the Venetian city walls. It's a maze of winding streets with churches, squares and ornate buildings.

After passing the Green Line, you'll hear tales of the city's history and culture as you tick off some of the main sites. Then, pass back into the southern area to Ledra Street and embrace modern city life under your own steam.

    Tour was as described, well organised, and being a small group when we went, kept well to time. Chris was knowledgeable and efficient. From Limassol, I’d highly recommend. I know that the people from Paphos had a longer travel time, but for us, it wasn’t a challenging day.

    Traveled with family

    I enjoyed the chance to go to Nicosia and the guide was very knowledgeable with lots of interesting facts. Unfortunately she was rather obsessed with excessively out toilet facilities wherever we went! We expected to hear a bit more about the buffer zone and “no man’s land” but this wasn’t covered. Also there was a limit to what you could do on the Turkish side as all the stalls sold counterfeit goods which you’re not allowed to take back over the border.

    It was an excellent tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and kept us all together. The lemonade stop was very good and we had plenty of free time after. The temperature was very hot so was quite tiring. Overall very good value for money

Er wird Ihnen von Dr. Emily Duncan, einer National Geographic-Forscherin, erzählen, deren Forschungen über Plastik und die heimischen Schildkröten die Inspiration für diese Tour sind. Sie erfahren mehr über die Bedrohung dieser Tiere und des gesamten Ökosystems des Ozeans und was Sie tun können, um es zu schützen.Sie werden mit einer wasserfesten Tafel und einem Stift ausgerüstet, um die verschiedenen Arten in den Seegraswiesen und Felsenriffen zu identifizieren und zu erfassen. Während dieses 90-minütigen geführten Erlebnisses, das die Bootsfahrt und die Schnorchelzeit einschließt, halten Sie Ausschau nach Regenbogen-Lippfischen, Blaupunkt-Korallenfischen und gefährdeten Unechten Karettschildkröten und Grünen Meeresschildkröten. Es macht nicht nur Spaß, Ihre Fisch-Bingo-Karte auszufüllen, sondern Sie leisten auch einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Forschung der Citizen Science Initiative und unterstützen den Schutz wertvoller Meereslebewesen.
