Itinerary

  • Paphos Gate

    The Paphos Gate was one of three entrances through the Venetian walls that surrounded the entire city of Nicosia. These walls were constructed in 1567 by the renowned architect Giulio Savorgnano. Just outside the Paphos Gate, a road begins, leading southwest towards Paphos – the city that gave the gate its name. The Paphos Gate was also once known as the “Gate of Saint Dominic,” as it replaced an older gate from the Frankish wall called the “Porta di San Domenico,” named after the nearby Abbey of San Domenico. The Paphos Gate is a simple opening in the wall, covered by a barrel vault.

    30 minutes

  • Ledra Street Crossing Point

    Ledra Street winds through the historic old town of Nicosia, divided into a Greek Cypriot southern part and a Turkish Cypriot northern part. In the larger Greek-Cypriot part, there is a lively shopping street with international chain stores. It ends in the south at the Platía Eleftherías, i.e. at the edge of the Venetian city wall. The 50-metre-wide Green Line separates the smaller Turkish northern part of the street from the southern part. Pedestrians can cross back and forth between the two parts of the street, as a border crossing has existed on Ledra Street since April 2008. The street, which was once a symbol of division, now connects (again) and is today the most popular promenade in Nicosia. Many large department stores have set up shop along it.

    30 minutes

  • Buyuk Han

    A han (caravan station) was in ancient times accommodation and storage for traders passing through the city, often with stables for their horses (or camels) and sometimes with recreational facilities such as restaurants and hamams (Turkish baths). Büyük Han was built in 1572 and today is an excellently preserved and fully restored example of the architecture of the time and is one of the most beautiful historic buildings in the city. Büyük Han is home to a variety of shops, cafés and craft studios and is perfect for a short shopping trip during our tour of Nicosia. The Han is only a short walk from the Ledra Street Green Line pedestrian crossing.

  • Selimiye Camii

    The Selimiye Mosque used to be St Sophia’s Cathedral. The mosque is located just over 100 metres north of the „Green Line“, the border that separates Northern Cyprus from the Republic of Cyprus. St Sophia’s Cathedral was built between 1209 and 1326 and is considered a masterpiece of Gothic church architecture, comparable to the great cathedrals of France. It was the coronation church of the kings of Cyprus until 1489. Venice then ruled the island until 1571. The Ottomans converted the cathedral into a mosque and the unfinished western towers were completed as minarets. The sacred furnishings and stained glass windows were lost. The building has been the main mosque in Nicosia ever since. The building has been severely damaged by several earthquakes. Extensive work is currently being carried out on the mosque, which is why it cannot be used.

    30 minutes

  • N/A

    The Bandabuliya Municipal Market is located near the Selimiye Mosque. It was built between 1930 and 1932 during the British administration of the island. It is a covered market with a late Art Deco facade. Above the entrance is the inscription „Bandabuliya Pazari 1932“. It was the main covered market in the north of Nicosia. It was a traditional Turkish bazaar where you could find fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy products and household goods. It was not just a market. It was also a local meeting place. The market was renovated and re-opened in 2012. It now has over 70 stalls, cafes, bookshops and a small theatre. The stalls have returned along with craft and souvenir shops for visitors.
