Situated in the heart of Nicosia's old town, this colourful apartment is a great base for exploring the charms of the neighbourhood. Just a few steps from the main pedestrian shopping areas and lively Ledra Street, with plenty of bars, restaurants and hip places nearby, you're ideally located here – although light sleepers may want to bring earplugs, as it can get pretty noisy in the flat. Inside, the mid-century design and pastel wallpapers really caught our eye, while having access to your private balcony is a nice little added bonus.
