  Breakfast at your hotel. As the last divided capital in the world, Nicosia is a fascinating city to explore – offering you a glimpse of two very different worlds. This tour brings you to the free southern sector and to the Green Line buffer zone. That closes off the occupied area. Your first stop is the St. John's Cathedral built in Franco-Byzantine style. 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. Cross to the occupied area and you'll hear tales of the city's history and culture as you tick off some of the main sites – Ayia Sofia Church and Market Square included. The day is a full day of different impressions between old and new, a buzzing life and quiet small streets. Experience not to be missed! Night at the hotel
