Join local guide Eleni Ellinas for a small-group walk from Famagusta Gate to Ledra Street. You’ll follow the Green Line, see Venetian walls, abandoned buildings, military barriers, and the Ledra Palace and Ledra Street crossings, with a coffee or tea stop along the way.

“This was easily one of the most enriching and meaningful tours I’ve ever taken. The route itself is interesting, but our guide, Eleni, made it unforgettable. Her knowledge, passion, and storytelling brought the city’s divided history to life in a way that was both educational and deeply moving. Eleni presented every detail with balance and respect, never shying away from the complexity of the subject. She’s clearly an expert in Cypriot history and international affairs, but what stood out most was how approachable and engaging she was. She created a warm, open environment and encouraged questions throughout. We had some last-minute circumstances on our end - we appreciated Eleni’s flexibilit...”

Divided Capital NICOSIA

6.Divided Capital NICOSIA

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 25 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Walk across divided Nicosia with a private English-speaking guide, often led by Sirin, and visit gates, mosques, Ottoman quarters, Gothic architecture, and border landmarks. The three-hour route begins and ends at Ledra Street, with time for Cypriot coffee and borek at Büyük Han.

“Our guide was very friendly, cheerful and eager to please, yet his knowledge of the Southern side of Nicosia was not as impressive as his full understanding of the Northern side. We enjoyed the time we had together, but felt that we could have learned more about the Greek Cypriot part of the capital. Enjoyable and thorough in that we covered a great deal of ground, but we felt that we could have learned more.”

“I visited Cyprus for the second time this year. As I decided to get acquainted with the northern part of the island, I pre-booked a private tour to Kyrenia and Bellapais Abbey. The trip was led by Mrs. Sirin Suha. It was a spectacular half-day tour to amazing sites. And Mrs. Sirin was a wonderful companion - she speaks English perfectly, knows her job very well, and knows Cyprus and its history very well too. Therefore, immediately after that, we arranged an excursion to the medieval city of Famagusta and to the Troodos mountains. The last trips left a great impression not only because of the uniqueness of the objects…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 19 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $72

“Our time in Omodos was cut short to visit, on the way back to Paphos , a farm/dining venue which in fact was an unfinished building site with a number of animals in cages and horses tied up to view. It would appear that most people on the trip were not impressed at all.. We would suggest that this venue is not included in any future trips until the building site is completed. Apart from this the rest of the trip was well organised , most informative, and enjoyable.”
