Our Neighborhood Our Neighborhood


Our apartment, and the school for that matter, are well located in town. We are a mere 10 minute bike ride to the medieval center. Flanked by fortified Venetian walls, downtown Nicosia is a hodgepodge of Greek, Turkish, the antiquated, the posh and new, and a lot of time forgotten.

We really enjoy a nice ride through the part of the city. There is always something new and hidden to see. Not to mention, our normal route takes right along the green line. Always refreshing to have your “Kalispera” – good evening- answered bask by the fellow holding an M-16.

Our house is a quaint and quintessential 40’s Cypriot bungalow, complete with pomegranate, fix, and lime trees. We are a two-minute ride to work and are flanked by a large park.
