| Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, has one unfortunate distinction - it is now Europe's only militarily divided city. It is also a constant reminder of the tragedy and injustice which Cyprus suffered in 1974. In the summer of that year Turkish troops, using the pretext of a coup orchestrated by the Greek junta against the Cyprus Government, invaded and occupied over a third of the island. Despite the efforts of the United Nations and repeated condemnation by the international community, that occupation continues to this day.

| Without a doubt, the 1000 years old capital should be on visitor's agenda. It lies roughly in the centre of island, within easy reach of the other towns and a day in Nicosia will be a day well spent. |
