An old, wooden bus is
used to assist in the walk… and the experience is really
worth it!
The visitors are transferred in one of the quietest regions
of Nicosia. Firstly, in the most historic neighbourhood
of the city within-the-walls and then in Kaimakli, a
"village" within the municipal limits of Nicosia.
The visitors get to know from up
close the Municipality's efforts for renovating traditional
buildings and constructing new ones, and the maintenance,
preservation, and revitalisation of the neighbourhood
that is done through Nicosia's Unified Regulatory Plan.
Young families relocate in the neighbourhood, giving
a new life in a region that was greatly affected by
the 1974 Turkish Invasion.
In Kaimakli, at the centre of the
village, some of the most significant structures of
urban architecture from the ending of the 19th century
and the beginning of the 20th, built by its most known
craftsmen, are still preserved.
Walking in Chrysaliniotissa and Kaimakli,
the visitor is familiarised with the Municipality's
efforts to assist the preservation and maintenance of
the old buildings.
