Meeting at Ercan Airport. Upon arrival at Ercan Airport, we meet with our guide and transfer vehicle and start our tour without wasting time. Our first stop is the capital, Nicosia. Here, we visit the Museum of Barbarism in order. After visiting the museum, which is the house where Major Nihat İlhan's wife and three children were massacred in the bathtub, we see the Green Line panoramically. The continuation of our tour will be a Nicosia Walled City trip. We get off our bus at the monumental Kyrenia Gate and continue our trip on foot. First, we visit the Cyprus Turkish History, Culture and National Struggle Museum. Then, we continue by seeing the Cyprus Mevlevi House, Samanbahçe Houses, Sarayönü Square, the Obelisk, the tombs of our martyrs that have survived from the 16th-century Ottoman conquest to the present day, and the Lokmacı Border Gate that divides the Arasta Bazaar in two. We visit the Selimiye Mosque (St. Sophia Cathedral), the most magnificent structure of Nicosia. We visit this unique work, where we can see Ottoman and Gothic architecture together, accompanied by our guide. Afterwards, we move to Arap Ahmet Street. With its stone mansions from the Ottoman period, narrow streets, and authentic atmosphere, this neighborhood almost takes us back to the past. Then we discover Zahra Street. We have pleasant moments on the street with its colorful houses, lively texture, and sincere atmosphere that attracts the attention of photography enthusiasts. After completing our trip, we give free time at the Great Inn (Büyük Han). At the end of our tour, we move to our hotel.
