Crossing the Green Line at Ledra Street takes you into two different worlds in one city, from Venetian walls and Ottoman heritage to modern Cypriot life. Visiting Büyük Han, a beautifully restored 16th-century caravanserai, adds an authentic touch of history. This journey provides an unparalleled insight into Cyprus’ rich past and evolving present, making it a truly one of a kind experience.
