Top 7 City Tours in Nicosia, Nicosia District
Nicosia, the capital of the island of Cyprus, has incorporated elements of the many empires and kingdoms that have claimed it over centuries stretching back to the Bronze Age. Narrow winding streets lead visitors from the Cyprus Museum, with its collection of Neolithic and Roman artifacts, to the thick city wall. Built in the 1600s by the Venetians, the wall now divides the ancient part of the city from the modern. Step through the stone gates and enter a place where the past is still alive.

Hands down the best tour we did in Cyprus! Sirin was our guide and she is a fountain of knowledge and warm hospitality. The tour is planned out perfectly. Sirin keep adding little tidbits of trivia about Cyprus along the way (ask her why the Cypriots serve water with coffee...) When I go back to Cyprus, we will only do tours she is hosting. Just the best. Highly recommended!

Spend time in the Walled Old Town Centre, within the Venetial Walls, wander in Laiki Yitonia with it's narrow streets, handicraft shops, traditional restaurants and coffee shops.

We visited the zoo the other day, it has most animals you could think off, they seemed well kept for the most part, a zookeeper mark allowed us to get a once in a lifetime photo with a giraffe, and you could tell he cared deeply about the animals, thought it was a great day out. We did think the monkey enclosures could be bigger and were a little on the small side, again with the birds and the ostriches. But other than that, the majority of the animals seemed to have big time enclosures and plenty of space to roam. And they are all rescue animals from what I understood, so have deffo got a better quality of life. I wouldn’t eat there though we went to the cafe which had run out of hand sanitiser when we entered, so we informed the staff, but then when we left it still hadn’t been refilled which during corona times is quite irresponsible. But if you like going to the zoo, take your own lunch and hand sanitiser and you will have a good day out ????
