Join us on this unique walking tour through the northern part of Nicosia, Europe's last divided capital. Since the end of 1963, the GREENLINE has separated the northern and southern parts of the city. This tour is the perfect addition for travelers spending their main holiday in the southern part of Cyprus, offering a glimpse into the life, stories, and hidden gems on the other side.

Nicosia is a rich tapestry woven from Byzantine, Crusader, Venetian, Ottoman, Armenian, British, Greek, and Turkish influences. The history of the 20th century must be viewed against the backdrop of Cold War conspiracies, which shaped the island’s modern fate.

Our guides are excited to share their city and its stories with you in a relaxed and entertaining way, while presenting its complex and tragic history in the most neutral manner.

The Arabahmet Mosque is situated in the Arabahmet Quarter, one of the historic and prestigious neighbourhoods within the walls. This quarter in the western part of the city of Nicosia used to be the centre of culture and business during the Ottoman and British eras. The residential buildings here reflect the architecture and tradition of those times.
