At number 8 is the Cypriot island of Nicosia.
This place has everything. City getaways, stunning beaches, lovely people and fresh food. All at the same time as being a place steeped in history.
Over recent years Nicosia has developed at an unprecedented pace, but with none of the traditional and local charm being lost.
The birthplace of Greek legend Aphrodite, the history and ruins of the long running battle between the Greeks and Turks for ownership of this extraordinary metropolis. It is a must see to fully understand the complicated and complex nature of this Mediterranean gem.
