CYPRUS
Nicosia, Europe’s last divided capital, offers a captivating blend of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot influences, with a vibrant cultural scene that includes museums, galleries, and historic landmarks. Nestled within the medieval Venetian walls, Amyth of Nicosia is poised to open in February as a sister property to the Almyra hotel in Paphos. This intimate nine-room retreat occupies a villa dating back to the early 20th century. With its original architectural details, such as decorative ceilings, vintage tiled floors, and a sweeping staircase, lovingly restored by Eraclis Papachristou Architects and designer Maria Neophytou, the property blends timeless elegance with modern luxury.
