Nicosia

Nicosia is the largest city and the capital of Cyprus. It is quite a specific place on the world map. And all because Nicosia is divided between South Cyprus (Greek) and North Cyprus (Turkish). Between the two parts there is a demilitarized zone, supervised by the United Nations. Of course, the entire city is accessible to tourists . However, you must remember that when you move from the southern to the northern part, you will have to show your passport to the local border guards.

If you're looking for a bit of the exotic then spend more time in North Nicosia . On the other hand, if you prefer a bit more order, then focus on the southern part of the city.

For whom?

For sure Nicosia is an interesting place, especially if you like sightseeing . An additional flavor is the fact that it is the only capital in the world that is divided between two countries. Although it would be more correct to say that it is divided between the state - South Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is not internationally recognized.
