LEFKOSIA (NICOSIA) WALKS 

Get to know the capital by walking 

Within the framework of wider efforts to 

get foreign visitors better acquainted with 

the old city within the walls, the Lefkosia 

(Nicosia) Municipality from 1987 

established a series of thematic walking 

tours. These tours have been reorganised 

to present various new aspects of the old 

city as well as the city outside the walls. A 

city like Lefkosia (Nicosia) with its 5000 

yearlong history has much to offer. By 

walking, one gets a better feel for a place 

and its yearlong atmosphere, then and 

now, and a better understanding of its 

continual cultural development. This is the 

philosophy upon which these walking 

tours of Lefkosia (Nicosia) are based.

LARNAKA CITY CRUISERS (BIKING 

TOURS) 

Tourists and locals alike can view the 

sights of Larnaka from a different angle by 

renting a ‘City Cruiser’ biking tour. The 

special passenger bikes - which look a 

little like buggy carts with pedals - are 

already popular in other European 

destinations where riders (with very strong 

legs!) cycle with their passengers in the 

back enjoying the sights. The bikes are an 

environmentally friendly way to travel as 

they use a solar-powered battery, meet all 

European safety standards and are 

operated by trained riders who know firstaid. 

They are also suitable for people with 

disabilities. 

There are three tours on offer: The City 

Centre Tour (which takes in the town 

centre with all its shops), The Arts and 

Culture Tour (which takes in the 

workshops and galleries of Larnaka), and 

a Historical Tour Around the Town (which 

takes in the museums, churches and 

ancient monuments). 

11

These are the first bikes of their kind on 

the island and are certain to offer 

something unique to anyone who wants to 

see Larnaka and its sights in a memorable 

way. 

Cost: €12 (45 - 50 minutes) per bike (for 

two persons) with rider.

PAFOS WALK 

Every Thursday 

STROLLING AROUND PAFOS TOWN 

CENTRE (KTIMA) 

In an effort to get visitors acquainted with 

Pafos Town Centre (Ktima), which is the 

newest part of the city of Pafos as 

opposed to New Pafos, the ancient 

Hellenistic and Roman Capital of Cyprus, 

the Municipality of Pafos would like to 

invite everyone to visit Pafos Town Centre 

(Ktima) and get to know this part of Pafos, 

incorrectly considered as merely a 

shopping area. 

The walking tour Strolling around Pafos 

Town Centre (Ktima) aims to provide an 

overall picture of Pafos and how Pafos 

Town Centre evolved and developed 

from the late Byzantine and Medieval 

times to what as it was called until recently 

Κtima. The Pafos Town Centre (Ktima) is 

associated with the local everyday life of 

the population. For the Pafians though, 


Pafos Town Centre (Ktima) has so much 

more to it…. 

Through historic references, linked with 

some very important historic phases 

including Medieval, Ottoman, British and 

modern times; one will ‘walk’ into the past 

but will also get better acquainted with the 

commercial centre of Pafos. 

The walk is led by a licensed CTO 

qualified guide. It lasts about two and a 

half hours, including a half-hour break for 

refreshments.
