CYPRUS (2May to 23May)

Girne (Northern Cyprus) Tour- Page 5

 

 
 
The two flags of Northern Cyprus: the Turkish flag and the Republic of Northern Cyprus

 

  One of the remaining gates from the ancient Venetian walls that surround the capital city of Nicosia (Lefkosa)

 

 

The rally visits the caravanseri..

 

and then on to the Selimiye Mosque formerly the St Sophia Cathedral.

 

The United Nations dividing line is clearly visible as you walk the streets of Nicosia.

  The two flags are visible in the distant hills.
 

The ancient Venetian port of Girne provided lovely seaside views for lunch after..

 

we worked up an appetite walking through the  castle and museum.

 
St Hillarions Castle and ..   more hiking opportunities for the adventurous Levante Rally!
 
Last stop Bellapaise Abbey and....   the "Tree of Idleness" made famous in the book "Bitter Lemons of Cyprus" by Lawrence Durrell.
