Green Line Walk

Cyprus is such a beautiful island, and what better way to see it than on foot! Tours of the island are very popular this time of year, and although the north is frequently visited by tourists, there’s still the surrounding mystery of ‘the other side’, from the Turkish-Cypriot culture to their food and lifestyles.

The Green Line Walk is the area that divides the north from the south, and because the landscape has been abandoned for a number of years, derelict and crumbling houses still offer an interesting insight into a place once vibrant and busy. Although there’s not much to see, there’s an eerie sense of division on the Green Line Walk, and with a number of monuments depicting the north south divide, you’ll be able to capture the atmosphere with your camera.
