General information

Cyprus may be just a dot on the map, but lying as it does in the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean, the sea whose name means the middle of the earth, the island is ideally situated for visitors from all the corners of the world.

Lefkosia (Nicosia) has been the capital of Cyprus for the past 1,000 years. The city, however, dates back to the Bronze Age when it was a renowned cultural and commercial centre. With 228,000 inhabitants and seven municipalities, Lefkosia is a city of two aspects combining both old and new in a busy modern commercial and business centre and a centuries-old culture.

The centre of the city is its old quarter surrounded by a Venetian sandstone fortress wall with a moat and heart-shaped bastions. Mosques and palm trees give an oriental atmosphere to the old city. Wander round narrow streets with overhanging balconies and the beautifully restored pedestrian precinct with craft shops, cafes and tavernas.

Old and new town are linked by Eleftheria (Freedom) Square, famous for the meetings and events it hosts. The new town spreads beyond the walls with a modern Europeanised centre of high-rise buildings, office blocks, shops and pavement cafes, expanding into suburban residential areas.

Visitors to Lefkosia have much to experience from historical museums and archaeological points of interest, Byzantine churches and cultural centres to its fantastic markets and unique cuisine.
