Our journey continues to Nicosia, Cyprus’ divided capital. You’ll walk along Ledra Street, cross the "Green Line," and experience the city's northern part.

Detailed itinerary

Hala Sultan Tekke sits gracefully on the edge of Larnaca Salt Lake, its domes mirrored in still water that glows pink during flamingo season. Whether you visit at sunset or in the quiet of morning, the site blends nature, history, and calm in a way that stays with you.

Stop 2

Larnaca Salt Lake shifts with the seasons — in winter, it fills with water and flamingos, turning the landscape into a living postcard; in summer, it becomes a shimmering, dry expanse under the sun, peaceful and otherworldly. Whether you're here for a breezy walk or to catch the changing light, the lake always offers a quiet kind of beauty.

In Larnaca you will see the famous Church of St. Lazarus of the 9th century, which is known throughout the Christian world. The temple attracts pilgrims from different countries. Many healings and other miracles were performed here, thanks to the fragments of the relics of Saint Lazarus.

Walking tour. You can compare the differences between the new and old parts of one of the most unusual cities in the world. You will see the impressive Venetian walls of the 16th century, the Cathedral Church of John the Baptist, "Laiki Geytonia" - narrow cozy alleys and medieval buildings, a checkpoint (Northern Cyprus), as well as the impressive Cathedral Church of Hagia Sophia of the 13th century, which later became a mosque. Here you will have free time to walk in Northern part of Nicosia and have lunch.
