Explore the 2-sided city of Nicosia
Nicosia has a controversial claim to fame – it’s the only divided capital city in the world. It was split by Greece and Turkey in 1961, and still has 2 halves today. On the outskirts it’s a bit of a concrete jungle, but step inside the 16th-century Venetian walls at its heart and it’s a different story. The old city is all narrow sandstone streets, little shops and pretty Medieval buildings.
