Nicosia targets Greek tourists with year-round cultural and gastronomic experiences
Nicosia is actively promoting its culture, gastronomy, events, and natural surroundings to attract more visitors from Greece throughout the year. Theodoros Kringou, president of the Nicosia regional tourism board, emphasized the city's appeal for short city breaks that combine history, food, nature, and professional travel opportunities. Close travel links and frequent flights between Athens and Larnaca enhance Nicosia’s accessibility, facilitating convenient trips that blend urban and countryside experiences.
Tourism data reveals a strong exchange, with over 12,000 Greek visitors in July alone and Cyprus receiving 4.53 million tourists in 2025, marking a 12.2% increase from the previous year. Winter tourism in Nicosia is notable, with a significant proportion of young visitors drawn by cultural attractions, culinary routes, and events such as festivals and exhibitions. The city’s UNESCO-recognized walled city, historic churches, and modern landmarks like Eleftheria Square offer diverse attractions year-round.
Beyond the capital, nearby villages such as Fikardou enhance the tourism offering with traditional architecture, seasonal festivals, and authentic experiences. Kringou urged greater collaboration with Greek tourism and business professionals to develop specialized travel packages, aiming to extend visitor stays and encourage repeat visits beyond the traditional summer season.
