The capital of Cyprus is a city with 2 characters, scars and divided by the green mile. South or Greek Cypriot part, has some fancy bars and lots of graffiti. The government invested to develop a district close to the green mile, but failed. Much of the shops & houses remain empty.

Crossing the border is literary entering a different world.
The north part, Turkish side, is much more alternative. Lot’s of atmosphere, ayran and – God knows why- plenty of lawyers.
