Nicosia
When thinking of visiting Cyprus, Nicosia is most likely not the first place on tourist minds for one thing – no beaches. It lacks ocean water and sand due to its central location, the capital, and the largest city in Cyprus makes up for it in a rich, great blend of culture, history, historical landmarks, impressive facilities, and many more. #travel #nicosia #cyprus #beach #capital

The Medieval Walls of Nicosia
As a way of protecting regions, fortifications were common in most ancient kingdoms. In Cyprus, the first fortification went as far back as the 1200s. Though that built in the Lusignan period has given way or demolished for much stronger walled protection. After Cyprus became a Venice republic, the Venetians built a bigger, stronger, and circular wall with a circumference of 5 km to hold back the Ottoman invasions. #travel #nicosia #cyprus #walls #venice

Visit Melios Zoo
The zoo is a common destination for a family vacation. Melio Zoo, in particular, is a pleasure to visit with diverse and wide varieties of animals from the king of the jungle, zebras, peacocks, kangaroos, lemurs, donkeys to ostriches, and more. Opened in 2000, the zoo has grown admirably, with well-fed and healthy-looking mammals and birds. #travel #nicosia #cyprus #melios #zoo

Getting to and around in Nicosia
A visit to sandy beaches in Cyprus is a great experience on its own. However, the itinerary is not detailed without being part of the deep-rooted culture, vibrant history of the Cypriots, and the island. No better place to feel the mark of different civilizations than the capital. Your best bet to making most of your trip is to take advantage of trip packages with the right blend of the ancient ruins and antiquity seeing, buzzing nightlife, locale restaurants, medieval castles, fortifications, great wines, and alluring ocean views from nearby cities. #travel #nicosia
