Lefkosia - Lefkara
Tuesday.
Visit the only divided capital in the world. We enter Nicosia by driving along the Green Line, the capital’s dividing line. Passing by the newly restored Famagusta Gate, we proceed to the Archbishop’s Palace where we visit St. John’s Cathedral.

We then travel to the city centre and visit the Byzantine Museum with its priceless and fascinating collection of icons and paintings.

Our tour continues to the shopping centre and picturesque old quarter of “Laiki Yitonia”, where you will have time for lunch and a stroll around the charming winding alleys lined with shops and galleries.

We leave Nicosia and drive you to the village of Lefkara, which is famous for its handmade “lefkaritika” laces and silverware.

It’s said that Leonardo Da Vinci visited the village and bought an altar cloth, which he donated to the Milan Cathedral.
Please note that modest dressing is required when visiting monasteries and churches, i.e. no shorts and low-cut tops.
