Nicosia International Airport, once the main airport of Cyprus, now stands as a historic site within the Cyprus Buffer Zone. Following the 1974 Turkish invasion, commercial operations ceased, and the site is now primarily used by the United Nations Peacekeeping Force. The airport, with its intact terminal and advertising, offers a glimpse into the past, reflecting on the island's history of conflict and division. Accessible only with special UN permits, it serves as a poignant reminder of the region's complex history.
