Exploring the Lost Gateway: A Journey Through Nicosia Airport’s Untold Stories

A Hands-On Experience Uncovering the Forgotten Past of Cyprus’ Once-Bustling Airport

The Cultural Foundation of the Bank of Cyprus, in collaboration with the bαhçές histories of Cyprus team, invites you to a unique interactive family journey as part of the Cyprus Nissos exhibition. "Together, we will explore historical photographs and stories of the people who once passed through the halls of Nicosia International Airport," the statement says. 

Did you know that Nicosia has an airport that is no longer in use? Once a bustling gateway to the world, it now stands frozen in time. Decades ago, visiting the airport was so exciting that people came just to see it. Once a proud symbol of progress, Nicosia International Airport now rests within the UN Buffer Zone, holding countless untold stories.

Through interactive activities, participants will take on the roles of travelers, airport staff, and past visitors, bringing history to life through imagination and role-playing. "Together, we will reflect on how travel, progress, and global connections have evolved over time, discovering what links us to both the past and the future," the Foundation says. 

The workshop will be conducted in Greek, with simultaneous translation available in English.
