Sacred and Secular: A Journey through Nicosia's Timeless Wonders
Beneath the sunbaked streets of Nicosia, centuries of power struggles and secret alliances pulse just out of sight. This self-guided audio tour invites you to uncover stories hidden in plain view—from haunting cathedral arches to mosaic-laced markets—while sidestepping crowds to experience the city as few ever do. Who tried to lock bishops inside Selimiye Mosque, triggering a riot that nearly burned Nicosia’s heart? What strange animal carvings still watch over the Bedesten, their meanings long forgotten? Why did people once line up at Haydar Pasha Mosque hoping to borrow luck from an ancient tomb? Wander from echoing domes to fragrant courtyards, tracing the rise and fall of kingdoms through carved crests and battered minarets. Each step unlocks drama, forgotten scandals and swirling mysteries layered into stone and shadow. Take your first step now—and see how deep the roots of Nicosia’s legends really go.
