2025 Nicosia District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is a fascinating city that seamlessly blends its rich history with modern-day life. Its old town is a maze of narrow streets, traditional houses and stunning landmarks. Despite its ancient roots, Nicosia is a dynamic and modern city, with a buzzing nightlife, an array of shopping opportunities, and a diverse culinary scene that showcases both traditional Cypriot cuisine and international flavors. Nicosia is a perfect balance between honoring its past and embracing its future. #nicosia #explorenicosia #oldtownnicosia #cyprus

There are several monasteries scattered in the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus. It seems that you can go there on your own, but for efficiency, I think it's better to take an optional tour. I went to Chrysoryoiatissa Monastery and Kikos Monastery on an optional tour from Paphos. Chrysoryoiatissa Monastery is a small, rustic monastery, but the decorations on the walls were wonderful. Kikos Monastery is located on top of a mountain and has a great view. I recommend seeing them at least once when you come to Cyprus. #EuropeTrip #Cyprus #Troodos

It's a strange city that is divided into Greek and Turkish sides in the middle. There is passport control when traveling between the Greek and Turkish sides, so I recommend bringing a passport. The Greek side is European, but the Turkish side has many mosques, and it was fun to feel Turkish all at once. There was a bazaar. The currency on the Turkish side is the Euro, so there is no need to exchange money. It was fun to walk around eating on the main street on the Greek side. You can get there by bus from Larnaca or Paphos. #EuropeTrip #Nicosia #Cyprus
