Interesting and full of information - We loved our tour with Ute. She was interesting and full of information about the history of Nicosia and how the city is divided. She took us to see where all the checkpoints are so we can visit the north side at our own leisure, showed us what effect the 2012 financial crisis had had on the city, and the best bits of the city to visit. Highly recommend!

With the sun shining and the temperature just right, this is the perfect way to start your winter weekend in Nicosia.
