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 / Cyprus - Harbor t...   ) and Limassol (    • Walking in LIMASSOL / Cyprus 🇨🇾- Tour...   ).

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.
