Nicosia is a city that possesses many important historical monuments and interesting museums. The first stop will be the Handicraft Centre. The centre aims to promote and enrich visitor's knowledge of traditional fold art and craft skills. The centre has various workshops and a showroom/shop at its premises, as well as shops in Old Town.

The excursion will continue with a visit to Nicosia’s Archaeological Museum, which contains valuable artifacts from 7000 BC. The excursion will end at ‘Laiki Gitonia’, the restored commercial quarter of the old city, where all the participants will be able to have a stroll and visit the picturesque shops which sell traditional items.
