Nicosia Holidays

Nicosia holidays – Fascinating Cypriot capital
Nicosia holidays offer an entirely different experience from the beach resorts on the coast. The Cypriot capital offers fascinating history, a unique architectural heritage, cultural attractions, street life and a lively nightlife scene. Nicosia has a lot of focus on the old city: an atmospheric ensemble of historic buildings and traditional balconied houses, enclosed by 16th century fortress walls built by the Venetians. The city is a fascinating record of successive occupations that have included the Egyptians, Romans, Arabs, Turks and British. Highlights include Nicosia Cathedral and the Archbishop’s Palace. You will find an excellent collection of museums and galleries devoted to Cypriot history, jewellery and Byzantine art. Most visitors to Nicosia are happy to explore the narrow streets of the historic centre, discovering old-fashioned shops, traditional workshops and a great choice of authentic Cypriot cafes and tavernas.
