The Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation (BoCCF) and bαhçές histories* of Cyprus, inspired by the “Cyprus Insula” exhibition, invite you to an interactive family journey where we will explore historic photos and stories about the people who passed through the Nicosia airport’s halls.

Did you know Nicosia has an airport that is no longer in use – once a bustling gateway to the world, now frozen in time? Decades ago, visiting the airport was so thrilling people would come just to see it! Once a proud symbol of progress, the former Nicosia international airport today remains in the buffer zone, the site of countless untold stories.

Through hands-on activities, families will step into the shoes of travellers, airport workers and visitors from the past – bringing history to life through imagination and role-play. Together, we will reflect on how travel, progress and connections with the world have evolved over time, discovering what unites us with the past and the future

The workshop will be conducted in Greek, with the option of simultaneous translation into English.

Appropriate for ages 8+
