Overview

  • I moved to Nicosia over 10 years ago and, over time, discovered a cycling route that I truly love. Exploring the city by bike became my way of understanding its different sides — its contrasts, its history, and the small details that make it special.

    This tour takes you through the very heart of the city, offering a unique journey across cultures, communities, and time.

    Throughout the ride, we cycle through charming old streets, hidden corners, peaceful parks, main squares, and modern parts of the city. We pass by local cafés and taverns, with views across the Green Line that few visitors get to experience.

    Over the years, I’ve shared this route with friends, creating unforgettable memories along the way.

    This isn’t just a bike tour — it’s a personal journey through the culture, history, and everyday life of Nicosia.
