Nicosia (Lefkosia) 首都ニコシア

Larnaca to Nicosia is about an hour by green bus.
ラルナカからニコシアは緑のバスで１時間。
I didn't have enough time to go around this capital city of Cyprus, but only walk around the old town a bit.

It was a hot day which was normal summer day there. 36c. The sun beaming down on me/us.
週末バススケジュールの関係で旧市街を散策する時間しかありませんでした・・・。海風の吹かない首都は３６℃越えの猛暑日。

This capital is more than 1000 years old!
１０００年の古都

When I heard/read that old town is inside the old wall, I imagined it's surrounded by the walls (you do too, no?) However, its like this.
旧市街は城壁に囲まれている、と聞いて想像していたのとはちょっと違いましたが、確かに壁の内側です。

Main streets are full of tourists. Nice.
メインストリートは観光客でいっぱい。

And popular old back streets. Pretty area is not that big though. 
歴史ある裏通り。広範囲ではありませんが、とても雰囲気があります。

More than enough good interesting buildings/churches to see were there... but I got lost as well as didn't have time. Too bad (sigh, weekend bus schedule...) 

Hopefully, next time! 
教会、博物館と見どころはたくさんあったのですが、迷子になってたどり着けず時間切れ・・・残念。

I accidentally almost crossed the border, and stopped by crossing point police. ha.
気づかないうちに境界線を越えそうになり、国境警備に止められました。（汗）
