Nicosia Street Quest: Explore the Old Town

An evening in old Nicosia takes on a different rhythm when the city becomes a place to explore through play. Nicosia Street Quest returns on Friday, 6 November, inviting participants to look more closely at their surroundings and enjoy a little friendly competition. The starting point is CVAR – Severis Foundation on Ermou Street, in the heart of the walled city.

The established Street Quest format combines a map, a question sheet and a search for answers in the urban landscape. Observation becomes part of the adventure: instead of simply passing through the streets, participants have a reason to pause, look around and pay attention to details. It is an appealing way to approach a familiar neighbourhood with fresh curiosity.

The November announcement promises prizes for the best individual and team, kindly sponsored by Cliopharmacy. The organisers also encourage regular participants to bring a friend and introduce them to the game. For anyone looking for a different Friday evening, the attraction is the combination of being outdoors, sharing an experience and discovering the city together.

This is the series’ penultimate event of 2026. The announced time is 18:30–19:30 on 6 November, starting from CVAR at 285 Ermou Street. Bring comfortable walking shoes; a pen and a small torch are sensible additions for an evening quest. Check the organiser’s latest updates for the participation fee and registration arrangements.
