Nicosia

Inside the Old City of Nicosia, the lively, contemporary cafe and bar scene punches well above its weight for a city so small, while a bundle of museums and a series of looping lanes lined with colonial-era buildings, churches and mosques reveal an evocative history. Meanwhile, if you brush up against the sandbag and oil-barrel barriers of the Green Line (the UN Buffer Zone) you'll get a sense of the surreal and sad present-day state of limbo for the world's last divided capital.

Lefkara 

Wandering the beautiful alleys of the tiny village of Lefkara reveals good examples of the area’s architecture: houses built with horizontal layers of limestone interspersed with pebbles.

Apart from its famous lace and silver work, Pano Lefkara village is also well known for its architecture. It is one of the few villages in Cyprus where the houses are built almost entirely of local white stone, which contrasts beautifully with the terra cotta roofs.
