Walking in NICOSIA / Cyprus - Both Zones - 4K 60fps (UHD)

Nicosia (Lefkosia) is the divided capital of Cyprus. Centrally located on the island, the greek side is in the South while the North is occupied and controlled by Turkey. Most of the museums of Cyprus are in Nicosia. Tourists often see the archaeological collection and both city zones during a day trip while staying near the beach during their vacations like Paphos ( • Walking in PAPHOS / Cy... ) and Limassol ( • Walking in LIMASSOL / ... ).
We start our tour at the Nicosia City Hall and walk around centre a bit. We head to the most busy Ledras street on this winter day (in February 2020) and reach the border check point ( 14:00 ). There we cross the Green Line border in Nicosia between the Greek and part occupied by Turkey. No filming is permitted at the border but we pass quickly.
There is a visible contrast between between the Greek and parts occupied by Turkey of Nicosia. There in the other zone we wander around further to see sights like the Selimiye Camii up to the Girne Kapısı. There are more older buildings and tourists around.
Eventually we walk back, cross the zones within an hour of our walk. We end our city walking tour at the bus stand of Nicosia, where most tourists on public buses would start their visit.

Charming architectural style, I will try to visit Nicosia.

Cyprus es un país raro de todo lo ví de Europa. Es lindo para visitarlo, el diseño de sus calles y peatonales para caminar me hace acordar a Sudamérica. Gracias por mostrar es cálido país....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾

[@gogosegaga]

North side looks nicer less. More historical and original historical buildings and less populated. Looks like a calmer place to live.

🍎 wonderful walk. I love exploring the narrow streets and walking through those old stone archways. Would love to visit in person someday. Thanks. - Henry

Thank you! When travel is advisable I'll see where I can go. Surely would visit more around Romania. If not 2020 then may next year. For now I'll post the videos I already have and look forward to visit some new places soon

The areas surrounding the venetian walls used to be beautiful gardens years ago... It's an absolute disgrace what it is being transformed into. That this was designed by the most famous architect in the world just shows the deplorable state of modern architecture and urban design... If only Cypriots would tear up the concrete and make a beautiful garden out of it again...

[@VICTORIA-M-A]

Yeah it made me sad what they did here in lefkosia .I was there 20 years ago. I remeber how baeutiful all the old alleys and the big parks and palms around ledra and the center of the city but now,,,,

[@stelioskiprou]

Please be cautious about what you write before publishing. You mention the "Turkish parts of the city" in your video description. There is no such as Turkish part in Cyprus. It is the Northern Cyprus which is illegally occupied by Turks since their barbaric invasion in Cyprus in 1974. In 1983 the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) declared independence, although Turkey is the only country that recognizes it. The international community considers the TRNC's territory as Turkish-occupied territory of the Republic of Cyprus. The occupation is viewed as illegal under international law, amounting to illegal occupation of European Union territory since Cyprus became a member.

[@poptravelorg]

I have changed the text a bit to note the occupied part. With these walks I usually write de-facto situations and show also an unfiltered view

[@stelioskiprou]

@@poptravelorg thank you for correcting it. I really want the world to know about the drama of my country, having taken away our rights since the barbaric Turkish invasion in 1974. The invasion aftermath was 7.000 greek cypriots slaughtered, 3.000 greek cypriots go missing and more than 200.000 greek cypriots violently removed from their homes. These are actual facts. Can you imagine North Korean invading New York city and then claim that New York is Korean and their legal territory? The audacity of those countries governed by their dictators is unimaginable. Also, the people in Turkey are getting brainwashed by the media everyday and falsely educated by their school books, claiming that the north part of Cyprus is Turkish and therefore they are all growing to believe to that outrageously wrong opinion. I wish countries all over the world could keep their hands off foreign lands and let people live peacefully.

[@hajarchet9379]

is it the north or the south?

Such a shame. A divided city in a truly beautiful island and just because a handful of Greek Cypriots wanted Union with Greece. I've spoken to Greek Cypriots and some Turkish Cypriots, all really beautiful people and I remember them telling me about a real friendship that existed between them. Such a great shame. Thank you.

The places you visit are where the Turks and Greeks live together, and the Turks also have their own flags. It is not just right to share them with the Greek flag.

[@poptravelorg]

Understood. I first removed the Turkish flag after a comments and now also removed the Cypriot flag. It's a divided island and this city walk shows. There isn't a political statement in puttingnone flag in the description though Cyprus is considered Greek and "Northern Cyprus" Turkish. I also removed the flag in the Northern Ireland videos which received similar comments

[@ilkeercengiz]

Rum kısmı daha güzelmiş. Türk tarafı çok köhne görünüyor. Global markaların olmamasının sebebi Kuzey Kıbrıs'ın hiçbir ülke tarafından tanınmaması. İşin açıkçası bütün dünya Türkler tarafından işgal altında görüyor resmi olarak. İşgal altında görülen bölgeye de yatırım yapılmıyor. Bu yüzden Türk kısmı daha tekdüze. / Rum side is better. Turkish side is looks oldtimer. Northern side has no any global brands. Because Northern Turkish Republic is unknown country by the world and UN. Actually whole states seeing to Northern side occupied by Turks. So northern side does not have any investment. Then Turkish side looks ordinary.

[@enverilker]

Ne kadar aydınlatıcı bir yorum!!köhneymis. O zaman sana demezler mi Türkler aldı o yüzden diye. Birde yarım yamalak ingilizcenle de yazmışsın yabancılara rezil olalım. Ayrıca köhne dediğin sokaklara turist yağıyor orası şehrin eski bölgesi rumlar gibi eski bölgeleri avm ye dönüştürmediler kuzeyde. Ha bide merak etme o global markalar da armanisinden tut guess tommy hepsi var kuzeyde dereboyu caddesinde. Türkiyede eskiden hiç yabancı marka yoktu. Tayvan tanımamış hersey var.
