Lefkosia/Nicosia
Lefkosia, also known as Nicosia, is the capital and largest city of Cyprus. It's a unique destination where ancient and modern worlds collide, and where a fascinating history unfolds around every corner. It holds the distinction of being the world's last divided capital. The Green Line, a buffer zone patrolled by the United Nations, separates the southern Greek Cypriot side from the northern Turkish Cypriot side. Despite the division, the city maintains a spirit of resilience and a hope for reunification.
