Nicosia Tourism Board

Why Choose Our Destination?

The Nicosia Tourism Board was established in November 2007 within the framework of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation Strategic Plan. Once you have walked around the city of Nicosia, do not hesitate to escape to its surrounding areas. Short distances and modern road networks will facilitate your trip and afford you the opportunity to experience the wild beauty of the Cypriot countryside. From Machairas Forrest and its historic monastery to the tip of the Troodos Mountains, there is much to discover. One place worth visiting is St. Panteleimonas Monastery (Ahera) that lies west of Nicosia and dates back to the 18th century. Also interesting is the Church of Varnavas and Ilarionos in the village of Peristerona, an excellent example of byzantine Cypriot architecture from the 9th century.
