If you listen to your stomach you’ll end up in Lazania!

This little village in the Nicosia district (that has nothing to do with Lasagna from the food cathegory, sadly) was a lovely little gem on the way back. Lately I realized I prefer more and more old, empty, abandon places instead of crowded, busy streets. I was never a huge fan, but this new obsession Continue reading If you listen to your stomach you’ll end up in Lazania!

Mountains called, they wanted for us to get lost in them.

The charm of chillin’ at the beach in one moment and hiking up the mountains in the next one – Cyprus definitely has that. Of course Slovenia has that too, but when you live here you get used to things like that and of course everywhere else is more exciting! We grabbed some more coffee Continue reading Mountains called, they wanted for us to get lost in them.

Well, I had Continue reading Paint me like one of those Limassol walls.

The city looks so pretty, do you want to paint it with me?

I would start this by saying “On a nice day there’s nothing like setting off for the beach”, but here’s the thing – every day here is a nice day and beach is basically everywhere. Anyhow, we did set off for the beach, but mainly because of the Street life festival in Limassol. It seems Continue reading The city looks so pretty, do you want to paint it with me?

Streets of Nicosia, show me whatcha got!

Streets of Nicosia, show me whatcha got!

Nicosia, the largest city and the capital of Cyprus since the 10th century, you go Nicosia! Which is pretty badass, what’s not badass though is the fact that the city was separated into Northern/Turkish and Southern/Greek part in 1974. There’s an actual border in the middle of the city, dividing what used to be, but Continue reading Streets of Nicosia, show me whatcha got!
