ニコシア : Last Divided City, Tour combined South & North
説明
このガイド付きウォーキングでは、ギリシャ側とトルコ側の架け橋となる、分断された街を巡るユニークな旅を楽しめます。 まずは国連管理区域に足を踏み入れましょう。象徴的なレドラパレスホテルは歴史の静かな証人として佇んでいます。 かつて華やかさの象徴だったこの銃弾の跡が残る建物は、現在は国連平和維持軍の本部として機能している。 そこから悪名高い「グリーンライン」を辿り、街を二分する国連管理緩衝地帯。 この歴史的な境界に沿って繰り広げられる日常を目の当たりにすることができます。この街の幾重にも重なった過去を力強く証明しています。 その後、セリミエ・モスクへと向かいます。かつて聖ソフィア大聖堂という壮麗な建造物があり、街の複雑な遺産を物語っています。歴史あるブユク・ハン・キャラバンサライと活気ある屋内市場を訪れ、両コミュニティの日常生活と文化を垣間見ることができます。 この経験は、この都市の過去、現在、そして再統一された未来の希望に満ちた兆候を力強く証明しています。
ツアーオプション
旅程
オスマン帝国のキャラバンサライ建築のキプロスで最も保存状態の良い例。ハンは、アナトリアやキプロスの他の地域からの旅行者に宿泊施設を提供するために建てられました。今日、グレート インは、いくつかのギャラリーやワークショップで構成される活気あるアート センターとして復活し、再び北レフコシアの旧市街の喧騒の中心地となっています。フォークロア ダンス ショー、ピアノのリサイタル、演劇の展示も城壁内で行われるようになり、ニコシアを訪れる際には必見のアトラクションです。
フランスのゴシック様式の教会とモスクの交差点であるレフコイサで最も有名なランドマークであるセリミエ モスクを探索します。その魅力的な歴史は 13 世紀にまでさかのぼります。聖ソフィア大聖堂として歴史的に知られているセリミエ モスクは、旧ローマ カトリック大聖堂をモスクに改造したものです。 レフコシアに現存する最大の歴史的建造物であり、情報筋によると、「イスラム教の台頭からオスマン帝国後期までの千年紀に建てられた東地中海で最大の教会だった可能性がある」とのことです。
ベネチアの壁と、それらが旧市街の境界をどのように形成しているかがわかります。それらは非常に珍しいため、一度地図上に表示されると、この古代の要塞の独特な形状と同義のデザインとして決して忘れられません。
レフコシアの旧市街を取り囲むベネチアの壁にある 3 つの門の 1 つを目の当たりにし、北から街へのアクセスを提供します。 千年以上の間、レフコシアはルジニャンからオスマン帝国まで、城壁に囲まれた都市でした。ルネッサンス時代に、差し迫ったオスマン帝国の脅威にさらされていた首都の周りに、ベネチア人が万里の長城を再建しました。
Kumarcilar Han は Gambler's Inn とも呼ばれ、キャラバンサライとしても知られています。 17 世紀末頃に建てられたこのホテルは、ビューユク ハンと比べるとはるかに小さく控えめですが、それでもオスマン帝国の都心部の商業旅館の典型です。 入り口にある記念碑的な彫刻が施された門は、オスマン帝国の征服以前のものであり、専門家は、この構造はおそらく修道院の廃墟である、はるかに古い建物の上にあると考えています。 この漢は現在完全に復元されており、美術工芸品店のアトラクションとして使用されています。
レフコシアで最も重要な歴史的建造物の 1 つであるベデステンを歩き回り、街の多文化生活と多様な過去を反映しています。 Bedesten には、1000 年以上にわたる長い歴史があります。もともとは 6 世紀頃に教会として建てられたもので、12 世紀から 16 世紀にかけて拡張と再建が行われ、オスマン帝国時代には屋根付きの市場に改築されました。

Elani was an amazing tour guide. She has all the ingredients of the perfect guide. Very professional and experienced. Not an easy tour to lead.
Dearest Eric and Leah, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review. I am extremely moved by your words. It was a sincere privilege to guide you, and I am so grateful to have met such incredible people like yourselves. This is not an easy tour to lead, as it carries so much weight and history, but sharing it with such thoughtful and empathetic individuals makes it truly meaningful. I will always remember our special day together and the connection we shared. Thank you for your trust and your kindness. I wish you all the very best! Warmest wishes, Eleni Ellinas
Exceptional! Fascinating insight to Nicosia with a knowledgable guide who is clearly passionate about the city, the island and her heritage. Thoroughly enjoyed and would 100% recommend. Eleni is lovely and endured each guest had a great visit.
I am so touched by your feedback! It was a genuine pleasure to meet you and share the history of our city together. Thank you for your enthusiasm and for being such a wonderful part of the tour. I'm so grateful for our meeting! Warmly always, Eleni Ellinas
Eleni was a fantastic guide and the tour was a very interesting introduction to the complex history of this city.
Thank you so much Andrea, Your review means the world to me and is wonderful motivation! Hope our paths cross again and I will see you soon again in Cyprus! Warmly always, Eleni Ellinas
We had a amazing tour. Eleni's warm manner, knowledge of history, personal experiences and love for the city and its people bring history to life. The time passed far too quickly. We should have done the tour earlier. Then we could have taken up many more of her recommendations. We can highly recommend it.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. I'm delighted to hear that I was able to bring the history and culture of the Nicosia buffer zone to life for you, especially through the stories and introductions to the local people. Your review means the world to me and is wonderful motivation! Hope our paths cross again and I will see you soon again in Cyprus! Warmly always, Eleni Ellinas
Eleni was an excellent guide for our tour around Nicosia. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city’s history. She explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made the experience engaging from start to finish. Her local insights gave real depth to the tour, and we left feeling we’d truly understood Nicosia. Highly recommended.
Dearest Tom, Thank you for this absolutely lovely feedback! I'm delighted to hear that you found the tour knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. That feeling of giving you a true understanding of Nicosia is exactly my goal. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! Hope to see you soon again in Cyprus! Warmly, Eleni
The small group tour is an exciting moment of exchange with Eleni who shares with us her family experience and wishes to give us the maximum light on the green line, the area under UN control... Just like his best tips for buying spices, drinking coffee or having a Cypriot lunch...
Dearest Laurence, Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Your words truly touched my heart. It's my goal to share the story of the Green Line in a personal way, and hearing that you connected with my family's experience and the insights I shared means the world to me. And of course, I hope my tips for coffee, spices, and lunch lead to some delicious memories! Thank you again and I truly hope to see you again! Warmly always, Eleni Ellinas
Eleni was warm, attentive and amazing in combining her personal experience as a local to the history of the city. Contacting her before the tour was also very easy. The tour is absolutely mandatory for someone interested in seeing and experiencing a very unique situation.
Dearest Felipe, Your kind words and feedback truly moved me. It's not every day that I have the privilege of meeting such lovely people as you! Cannot thank you enough for taking the time to review our special walk in North Lefkosia and so very pleased you enjoyed the experience. Warmly always, Eleni
Elleni was fantastic! I could not have asked for a better guide! She was extremely knowledgeable and shared her personal experiences which made the tour even more meaningful. She really took time to show me around, not just top highlights but some of her personal favorites. It was such an amazing experience and learning for me I am so glad I took this tour!
Dearest Kazue, a heartfelt thank you for your review! It was an absolute pleasure meeting you and so very pleased to hear you enjoyed our special experience! Really hope to see you back in Cyprus one day soon again. Warmly always, Eleni
As I said in the title highly recommend - a fantastic tour with Eleni I would definitely do again, super worth it. I would do a whole day tour like that too, and I’m usually exhausted after 2 hours but this felt really pleasant and exciting. make sure you schedule beginning of your stay so you can go back and perhaps stay the night once you know the basics.
Dearest Anna, a heartfelt thank you for your wonderful review! It's people like you that make a difference in my walks and drive me to do what I so passionately love doing! It was such a pleasure getting to know you and so pleased to hear you enjoyed North Lefkosia, a fascinating place, with so many hidden gems! I hope to see you back soon again in Cyprus! Thanks again and wishing you all the very best. Warmly, Eleni
i’d love to review this tour with more then 5 stars. I had two tours with Eleni and both couldn’t be any better. Eleni was a burst of intelligence, energy and knowledge. Her love of the city is quite contagious and her tips quite precious. Eleni is a personal friend for everyone, the comfort and safety of her participants is her priority. She is also an incredible storyteller and is also passionate about the history of cyprus. we have been to many TripAdvisor tours, and this was easily the best we have taken. Can’t recommend enough!
