The capital, its Venetian walls and the painted churches of the mountains.
2 museumsThe Nicosia district reaches from the divided capital to the pine forests of the Troodos, where some of the painted churches stand.
Nicosia sits inside a perfect circle of Venetian walls with eleven bastions. Start at the Cyprus Museum, the island's great archaeology museum, then walk into the old town for the Leventis Municipal Museum, which tells the city's story, and the A. G. Leventis Gallery for Cypriot and European painting. The Byzantine Museum shows icons rescued from churches across the island. In the foothills of the Troodos, villages such as Kakopetria and Galata guard painted churches with steep wooden roofs. Eat halloumi and souvla in a village tavern, and buy soutzoukos at the roadside in autumn.
