The reasons we travel are as varied as the destinations we choose, yet they all share one common thread: our desire to connect—with people, places, and the spark of joy, curiosity, and wonder that keeps our journeys alive.
Nicosia, Cyprus Often overlooked, Nicosia (or Lefkosia) is curious mix of vibrant street life and a rich history shaped by division. The city’s fusion of diverse influences and its dynamic cultural scene highlight its unique charm. The Old Town is a treasure trove for design lovers, where centuries-old landmarks like the Famagusta Gate and Archbishop’s Palace meet modern icons like Zaha Hadid’s Eleftheria Square and Jean Nouvel’s Tower 25.
Just steps from these historic landmarks, Amyth of Nicosia—sister property to Almyra in Paphos—is a soulful retreat in a listed building, tapping into the city’s creative energy. The hotel immerses guests in the local art scene with curated experiences like art walks, street art tours, and visits to galleries such as Is Not Gallery, Diachroniki, and Tehnis Dromena. It also offers thoughtful explorations of the border along Ermou Street, connecting art with history. Dive into the cultural undercurrents of one of the world’s most ancient cities.
