Description

By joining the Andallazo tour you will have to get ready to explore the last divided capital of the world. Nicosia combines the old with the new, the natural with the artificial, the traditional with the unconventional!
I will take you beyond the typical tourist destination to the soul of the city and explain you how this city became divided!

The Turkish invasion in 1974 made Nicosia stronger over the years and kept the locals united to make a new beginning for the future generation. I will introduce you to the authentic local culture that has flourished inside the historic center through architecture, street art and delicious flavors.

Join me and discover Nicosia's social and cultural hotspots. I can share tips on what to do, where to eat and drink cool stuff, and how to enjoy the city like a local. I am an architect who've grown up and studied in Nicosia; therefore I know every corner of the city inside out!
