The Old City in Nicosia has a very peculiar atmosphere, locked between the modern financial capital of the Mediterranean and a wall that divides the city between two countries and two cultures - a European and an Asian one. A walk there is a must not only because of the old architecture and the museums. You can easily lose yourself amid the small art shops and souflaki bistros, the houses with people sleeping on open doors, the soldiers and the strange military equipment all over, the middle-aged prostitutes, the churches... Take your camera, it is worth it.
