We begin in the southern, Greek Cypriot part of the city, visiting St John's Cathedral, a fine example of Franco-Byzantine architecture.Next, we take a walking tour through Laiki Geitonia, a charming neighbourhood within the Venetian city walls, known for its narrow streets, historic churches and traditional buildings. Crossing the "Green Line" buffer zone, we explore the northern, Turkish Cypriot sector, learning about the city's complex history and culture as we visit key sites. The tour concludes back in the south at Ledra Street, where you can enjoy some free time to experience the vibrant modern city at your own pace.
