| 16:15 | Visit to the Cyprus Archaeological Museum The Cyprus Museum is the island’s foremost museum located in Nicosia. The museum was founded in 1888 and houses archaeological treasures of Cyprus with 14 galleries of original art pieces from the Neolithic 9th millennium BC to the Byzantine periods. Highlights include a statue of 'Aphrodite of Soli' which has become the symbol of Cyprus, a collection of gold jewellery, pottery, three limestone lions, two sphinxes from Tamassos necropolis and the remains of the royal tombs of Salamis. |
| 17:30 – 19:30 | Guided Tour of Nicosia City Nicosia (Lefkosia) is the capital and largest city of Cyprus. It lies roughly at the center of the island. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Nicosia is currently the only divided capital city across the world, with the southern (Greek, under the control of the Republic of Cyprus) and northern (Turkish) portions divided by the "Green Line", a demilitarized zone maintained by the United Nations. Today, Nicosia blends its brilliant historic past with the bustle of a modern city. The nucleus of the city, enclosed by the Venetian walls, includes plenty of museums, ancient churches and medieval buildings. The part of the city developed outside the walls has become a modern business and cultural centre. The population of the part of Nicosia under the control of the Republic of Cyprus is 350,000 people. |
| 20:00 – 23:00 | Conference Dinner – Ayia Anna Tavern The tavern is located at Ayia Anna village. It serves the traditional Cyprus food (a variety of salads, meat and vegetables dishes, sweets) and its own wine, which is extremely good. Taste everything; it will be an experience worth it! A Cyprus folk dancing group will make all of us eager to get up and dance endlessly!!! |
| 23:30 | Arrive at St. Raphael Resort (Venue) |
