We like Nicosia. When most people think of Cypriot cities, and most are essentially towns, they overlook Nicosia. As Nicosia doesn’t have the beaches of boardwalk of Limassol or Paphos, it oozes in history. It is the last divided city on the planet. We love to walk through the city center. It’s divided nature resonates its abandonment. Everywhere you turn you are reminded of the conflict. The derelict and decaying buildings are testament to the people’s subconscious efforts to forget the past.
Luckily a few people are making an effort to restore some of the walled city. With Orthodox churches, Venetian walls, and Ottoman homes, its truly unique.
An unarmed post on the dead zone.
