Erasmus Experience in Nicosia, Cyprus by Thomas

Why did you choose to go to Nicosia, Cyprus?

Mainly for the weather,and because Cyprus was a mistery for me. Secondly, when you are in Cyprus you can travel in many countries close to the island for a cheap price: Jordan, Egypt, Israël, Türkiye… and, of course see in the island the most beautiful beachs of Europe.
I have been in Jordan for 20 euros, the experience was amazing
