Nicosia travel and resources
Unless you’ve already been there, you may not be aware that Nicosia is actually the last divided capital in the world, because the island of Cyprus is divided in two, between the Greek population and Turkish population. As such Nicosia is divided into South and North Nicosia, with the South Nicosia being the Greek one and also called Lefkosia.
This is still the capital of Greek Cyprus and this means that the city is a working city, where you can take a break from the lounging around and the coast’s lazy lifestyle, and get a jolt of more modern Cypriot life.
The place is a very attractive and enticing city, representing the cultural heart of the country and a great place to take in Cypriot cuisine and culture. As one might expect of the capital, you’ll find some great restaurants here, as well as some more traditional dark taverns with dancing families and bouzouki players, alongside some places that play contemporary hip music and nightclubs for the younger set.
The capital is also where you’ll find the best museum in the country featuring a very extensive archaeological collection spanning thousands of years of history.
And then those who love to do some shopping while on vacation will just have to visit the Makarios Avenue which is shopping heaven featuring chain and designer shops as well as local shops displaying their goods to the willing to pay some solid prices for them.
Nicosia car hire services will come into play heavily if you’re planning on spending a couple of days in the capital, because you’ll surely want to see as much of it as possible. Also keep in mind that you may also be interested in visiting some other attractions and sights in the surrounding area and that where our Cyprus car hire services will be extremely useful by allowing you to simply jump in your rental car and go there.
Even though this is the capital of the country it does not have an airport because it is connected to the very large Larnaca airport via a modern motorway network and this means that you can use our Larnaca airport taxi services to get you from the airport to Nicosia without breaking a sweat.
