Nicosia, Cyprus capital

The largest city of Cyprus island, and also the capital, Nicosia is nearly the further away you can get from the sea on the island ! With an interesting history, a very nice walkable old town, and the UN buffer zone, it is definitely an interesting city to visit. Even in winter, weather is agreeable - in summer, it might be difficult to resist to the attraction of the nice beaches all around the island, some of them as short as 30/45 min drive from Nicosia !

Best hotels - Where to stay in Nicosia, Cyprus ?
Cleopatra hotel

Probably the best choice in the city. This hotel offers all necessary amenities : outdoor pool, gym, room service, rooms with balcony and AC,.... But its main advantage is to be right next to the old town, only 5 min walk. Staff is generally nice and accommodates all guests needs.
Hilton Park Nicosia

One of the nicest hotels in Nicosia ! Featuring a huge outdoor pool, open year round (although water is rather cold in winter), a huge and fancy gym, restaurants, and huge rooms. The rooms are rather old, and the hotel is far away from city center - too far to walk. However, a good choice to relax instead of sightseeing.
Finest restaurants - Where to eat in Nicosia, Cyprus ?
Akakiko

Quite good japanese restaurant, situated right below the Hilton Park hotel, it is a good stop for sushis.
What to see in Nicosia, Cyprus ?
UN buffer zone

Definitely one of the things you can only see in Cyprus... The UN buffer zone separates Cyprus from the Turkish occupied part of the island. Accessible across the island, it is especially interesting to see the separation right in the middle of the old town.


Faneromenis church

The main church of Cyprus old town, this building is a must see, not only for the religious, but also for its architecture and its integration in the old town.
