Package holiday to Nicosia

Nicosia (Greek Lefkosia, Turkish Lefkosa) is the last divided capital in the world — a Green Line (UN buffer zone) has divided the city since 1974 into a Greek-Cypriot south and a Turkish-Cypriot north. This unique status makes Nicosia fascinating: In one day, you can have breakfast and dinner in two cultures, two currencies, and two culinary worlds.

The old town within the Venetian fortress walls (perfect circle with eleven bastions, built in 1567) houses both sides: In the south, the Faneromeni Church, the Leventis Museum, and the Laiki Geitonia (restored old town alleys). In the north, the Selimiye Mosque (formerly Gothic St. Sophia Cathedral, 1209), the Buyuk Han (Ottoman caravanserai), and the bustling Arasta Bazaar.

The border crossing at Ledra Street in the pedestrian zone allows you to switch between worlds in seconds — a surreal experience. On the Greek side, Halloumi cheese and Commandaria wine; on the Turkish side, Lahmacun and Turkish coffee.

Nicosia outside the walls is a modern Mediterranean city with shopping centers, nightlife, and an emerging food scene.

Nicosia particularly impresses with stunning beaches, fascinating culture. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
