It was a waste of our day. But I should have oriented myself better otherwise I would have known that Nicosia would not have had much to offer. The guide was extremely difficult to understand (English) and clearly read a story that was mainly about numbers and years.
This tour is very good. The guide was super nice, telling us a lot of information along the way. We got to know a lot of history of Nicosia and Cyprus.
Interesting city, blend of two cultures and epoques even more so divided by recent events Nicosia, especially Old town is one of the things you should see in Cyprus. Unfortunately, in August is very hot, and three - four hours free time is too much. Most of the people from the bus returned hour or two early and waited in the coffee shops nearby. Drive was also longer then said since there were congestions on the highway and too many stops... Also, driver was almost angry, didn't said hello, nor goodbye, even turned his head when passengers entered or exited the bus. Veru rude.
Nicosia is worth seeing, but unfortunately the travel time by bus is not proportionate to the length of stay there.
Enjoyed the day and found it very informative. Definitely offers value for money. Wish we had brought our passports with us, so we could have crossed over to the Turkish side.
Larnaca to Nicosia was very great and revealing, shopping in Nicosia ok, also the Turkish part of Nicosia is very interesting
