Nicosia is a fascinating city to explore – offering you a glimpse of two very different worlds. This tour starts in the Cypriot southern area and passes the 'Green Line' buffer zone to explore the northern part of Nicosia.

Next up is a walking tour through the historic streets of Laiki Geitonia inside the Venetian city walls. It's a maze of winding streets with churches, squares and ornate buildings, and feels more like a village than the heart of a city, After passing the Green Line to the north, you'll hear tales of the city's history and culture as you tick off some of the main sites.

The south Cape Greko coastline is characterised by crystal clear waters and light blue water colours, excellent for snorkelling & kayaking possibilities. Near Agia Napa there are sea caves with beautiful colours that we would enter, as well as Lovers' Bridge natural arch. The route and a bit over 1 km in length. We snorkel here only between May and October. The south area of Cape Greko and particularly the Cape Greko Sea Caves cove is one of the most beautiful attractions in the wider area. The trip provides travellers with the opportunity to explore the cove from the sea in a sustainable, eco-friendly way. In our snorkeling trips we use buoy(s) so that passing boats know our presense. We can finetune the route on the day, depending on the weather and the travellers' profile and preferences. If the customers agree, in case of forecasted choppy sea, instead we snorkel (only) around East Cape Greko (if the weather is expected to be bad everywhere, we cancel the trip).

Next, you'll head to the 12th-century Macharias Monastery, which is located on a remote hillside. Its lavishly decorated interior houses a sacred icon of the Virgin Mary. We'll then go to charming Lefkara, a village famed for its handmade lace and embroidery. ‘Women, young and old, can be seen seated outside their homes and shops making lace,' says Stavroula. ‘For hundreds of years, the men from the village have travelled all over Europe to sell it, even Leonardo da Vinci bought some.' The tour ends on a high in Skarinou village. Here, you'll try your hand at halloumi and bread-making before enjoying a ‘KM0' lunch of locally sourced ingredients at a family-run restaurant.
