Limassol — the most vibrant and modern city

Troodos Mountains — a different side of Cyprus

Nicosia — beautiful, walkable, and perfect for tasting local food
It is currently the only divided capital in the world. As you know, Cyprus is divided into two parts — the Cypriot (Greek) side and the Turkish side.
While walking in the center of Nicosia, you’ll reach a checkpoint where you can cross to the Turkish side. However, it’s important to know that if you enter the Turkish side, there is a 99% chance you won’t be able to return to the Cypriot side.
