I love nothing more than sharing the sights, sounds and secrets with intimate knowledge of the best places off the beaten path, on streets rarely discovered. I've been leading recreational walks for many years, purely out of interest and passion for my city. I enjoy connecting and showing people around this great city and I feel the best way to connect is on foot!

The intention is to leave you with an insider’s perspective of Nicosia.

Kindly note that a minimum of two guests is required for our walk to go ahead.

Medieval Venetian Walls

This is not a regular city walk, but a passage through a town frozen in time. It will give you an insight into the current situation of the Buffer Zone “Green Line” off the beaten track, on streets that are hard to discover without the experience of a local guide.You will see the Venetian walls and how they form a boarder around the Old City, so unusual that once seen on a map will never be forgotten as a design synonymous with the unique shape of this ancient fortification. On our walk we will explore the Southern side of the city and follow the infamous “Green line” that cuts through the centre, separating the city into southern and northern sections. This division has kept the two major communities, of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots apart for more than four decades. Our journey begins at the Ledra Palace Hotel known in its era as the largest and most majestic hotels of the capital. You will witness life having evolved along either side of this schism, something once impossible to do until recent agreements between the two sides to open border crossings. We will explore Ledra Street located at heart of the aforementioned walled city now once again rekindled to one of the most popular pedestrian commercial streets accented by abandoned buildings reclaimed by nature through decades of lost time scarred by bullet holes, military outposts and barricades.

Our tour of the UN Buffer Zone in Cyprus was both eye-opening and deeply moving. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, providing rich historical context and personal stories that brought the divided landscape to life. Walking along the Green Line and seeing the abandoned buildings and hearing about the ongoing efforts in this struggle made this experience unforgettable. It's a must-do for anyone interested in the island’s complex history.
Incredible Tour - far surpassed expectations!!

I can't say enough about Eleni, our tour guide for this fantastic journey through the buffer zone. She provided so much personal and general country history and perspective to our tour. We left not only seeing where history unfolded on both the Greek and Turkish sides of the green line, but also left with a perspective on why things unfolded as they did and where things stand today.. She was also kind enough to provide recommendations for restaurants and additional places to see on our trek back too Limassol. Our experience of Cypress was 100% enhanced by this experience. If you're a history buff and wanna know what really has transpired through the years, this is the tour for you. Highly recommend!
Very interesting.very knowledgeable guide. A must for all visitors to Cyprus!

Absolutely incredible experience - Eleni was the most wonderful guide, and gave us an incredibly detailed tour, indulging all of our questions about Cyprus and the division between North and South. The route was fascinating and varied, and she gave the best recommendations for both North and South Nicosia at the conclusion of the tour, and also gave us a coffee as a treat during the tour! I cannot praise Eleni highly enough for all her efforts and for providing such an incredibly insightful (and unbiased) tour. Every traveller to Nicosia must do this!!!
