Accommodaon
The converted old building which opened up to travelers and tourists in
May, straddles three quaint streets just by the Chrysaliniossa church
in the old city and has been beaufully renovated. The vision was that
of preserving the great tradional urban architecture of the original
building, coupled by contemporary changes to modernize the interiors
with the 21st century design.
A look inside the premises reveals a beaufully lit and spacious downstairs lobby which gives way to a
conference room and computer room. The interior is lled with stone details coupled with the
characterisc interior archways, dark wooden oors and the renovated grand old staircase that leads up
to the bedrooms and kitchen area. There are ve en suite rooms in total that can accommodate up to 20
people. Anyone is welcome as long as they are no older than 35 years of age! Perhaps the most
impressive part of the building is the modern kitchen area boasng a lovely balcony overlooking the
church and old town, topped o by a clerestory-style row of upper ground oor lancet windows, usually
associated with ecclesiascal buildings. Newly ed stained glass panels replacing the older ones give
the building almost a gothic feel.

Some facts about Cyprus
Floang on the waters of the Mediterranean, but poinng longingly towards the shores of Syria,
Turkey and Lebanon, Cyprus is an odd mixture. It is a kaleidoscopic blend: its cultural inuences are
dominated by Western Europe, but its geographic proximity to Asia and Africa gives it more than just
a hint of the East. Long coveted by mainland Greece and Turkey, this small island has its own denite
and beguiling character.
Cyprus is the island for all seasons, the island of good weather, good mood and loads of sunshine! Thepeople of Cyprus are warm hearted, hospitable and kind, people who love to go out and who
appreciate good company and good food. In fact, most of the social oungs and relaonships
revolve around food! And thats food that is coming in a lot of variety and large quanes for
massive stomachs!

While in Cyprus its a must that you try:
Cypriot meze (appezers akin to Spanish tapas) are an art form, and some restaurant serve
nothing but just that! Meze are available in a meat variety or sh variety but quite oen
come as a mixed batch, which is rather pleasing.
Shealia which is a kind of sausage without skin. The lling of shealia is made of ground pork
or lamb shoulder and leg. It is mixed with ne chopped onions and parsley and seasoned with
salt and pepper. Instead of sausage casing it uses caulk fat, the membrane that covers thestomach of a lamb or pig, to wrap the ingredients. In words it may not sound so good but in
the mouth it is simply yummy yummy!!!
Halloumi is a uniquely Cypriot cheese, made from a mix of cow's and sheep's milk. Hard and
salty when raw, it mellows and soens when cooked and is hence oen served grilled.
Taramosalata is tradionally made out of taramas, the salted roe of the cod or carp. The roe is
either mixed with bread crumbs or mashed potatoes. Parsley, onion, lemon juice, olive oil and
vinegar are added and it is seasoned with salt and pepper.
And of course this is just a short list. There are plenty more tastes and dishes to try! Another important
thing about Cyprus is the social life of Cypriots who normally spend their free me
(mornings, aernoons, evenings, we simply dont mind) going for coee in several coee shops around
the city, that stay open unl around one oclock at night! Coee is quite popular even at 10 or 11 pm and
what is also very popular is the special frappe, which seems to be something like a greek coee
invenon. Later, during the evenings people hit the clubs at around 12:30 with the party lasng unl the
early hours of the morning, when again they try to get rid of the hangover with more food at local fast
food restaurants.

Discover Nicosia
Leosia (Nicosia), the islands capital, which is located on the River
Pedieos and situated almost in the centre of the island, is the seat
of government as well as the main business centre. The centre of
the city, where we will be staying, is its old quarter surrounded by a
Venean sandstone fortress wall with a moat and heart-shaped
basons. Old churches combined with mosques and palm trees thatgive an oriental atmosphere to the old city, round narrow streets
with overhanging balconies and the beaufully restored pedestrian precinct with cra shops, cafes
and taverns, compose the inspiraonal surroundings of Nicosia. The new town spreads beyond the
walls with a modern Europeanized centre of high-rise buildings, oce blocks, shops and pavement
cafes, expanding into suburban residenal areas. Leosia oers the best in shopping and Makarios
Avenue and Stassicratous Street, which are the places to go for the ulmate shopping
(and bankrupng!) experience.
For this training we will be in the much advantaged posion of staying in the city centre of old
Nicosia. Our youth hostel (Nicosia Youth Hostel), is located at a crucial point opposite the great
church of Chrysaliniossa. At the end of Ledra Street you will be coming across a check-point
leading you to the northern part of the city. Over the past centuries, Cyprus was inhabitated mainly
by Greek Cypriots constung 83% of the populaon and Turkish Cypriots that constuted around
17%. However, problems arising between the two communies led to intercommunal conicts and
violence in with thousands of people being killed, hundreds of thousand becoming refugees in
their own country, and with serious issues of human rights violaon. Since then, Cyprus as well as
Nicosia have been divided by force between the island's Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot
communies in the south and north respecvely. On the 3rd of April 2008, as part of eorts to
reunify the island, a symbolic wall dividing the two communies at Ledra Street was opened so
that people from the two communies could move freely from one part of the city to the other.
Nicosia retains the disncon of being the world's last divided capital.
