★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 147 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $83

Guided walk along Nicosia’s UN Buffer Zone on the Green Line with Eleni Ellinas. Venetian walls, Ledra crossing, coffee stop included.

“We had the absolute pleasure of having a private tour with Eleni on 22 Jan 2024. Frankly, we were not sure of what to expect when we were booking the tour. We met near the buffer zone at the Cyprus side. From there we explored the UN buffer zone and crossed the border into the Turkish side. It was quite a learning experience to see and experience a place frozen in time. You’ll be surprised to see a stark contrast of how things are quite different when you cross a short border. Being an history buff, it was definitely one of the main highlights of our stay in Cyprus. For…”

A private 3-hour Nicosia walking tour across the Green Line, from Venetian Walls and Selimiye Mosque to Laiki Geitonia and Ledra Street.

“Wir hatten eine private Tour durch Nikosia mit Michalis in deutscher Sprache gebucht. Michalis spricht nicht nur sehr gut deutsch, er war auch sehr flexibel bezüglich unserer Wünsche, sondern hat auch ein schier unergründliches geschichtliches und kulturelles Wissen. Unsere Tour war super interessant und vielseitig, es kam niemals in den 3 Stunden Langeweile auf, ganz im Gegenteil, wir hatten viel Spaß mit ihm. Michalis ist unbedingt als deutsch und englisch sprachiger Guide zu empfehlen, da er auch mit unserem englischem Gast ohne Probleme kommunizieren konnte. Vielen Dank Michalis für den tollen Tag. Wir kommen gerne wieder auf dich zurück.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 4 reviews · 2 hours · from $129

A private 2-hour walk through North Nicosia markets and mosques, with stops like Selimiye and Büyük Han, plus tips from an English guide.

“This was a very interesting tour and I have seen a lot. In addition, I also had half an hour on the way to the check point. We saw a place designed by Zaha Hadid and the EU flags since the moment is good and Cyprus just took the presidency of the European Union. Maria was very flexible and, since my plane arrived in time, we moved the tour one and half hour earlier, which was good, because later on the que was longer at the check point. The tour started conveniently at the intercity bus station so I could then go straight to my hotel in Larnaca. North Nicosia…”
