Getting There

  • Walking

    Approach from central Nicosia through the leafy Agioi Omologites quarter, using familiar landmarks like the Linear Park and local cafés for orientation. The venue is a short, pleasant promenading distance from those hubs, and the ambiance shifts as you draw nearer—from urban calm to the creative energy emanating from its historic structure. Foot traffic is typical and there’s no dedicated parking immediate to the house.

  • Public Transport

    Several city buses serve the nearby avenue; fares run around €1.50 for a single ride. Alight near known civic markers like the Ministry area, then continue on foot through a comfortable cultural street environment toward the venue.

  • Taxi

    A taxi from the old city core places you a brief distance away in roughly 10–15 minutes, with fares usually between €8 and €12 depending on traffic. Drivers know the avenue, and the transition from roadway rhythm into the quiet, historic enclave is immediate.

Discover more about ARTos House

Tucked away behind modest façades, ARTos House occupies a turn-of‑the‑century structure in Agioi Omologites that reveals hidden depths—literally and metaphorically. A once‑dilapidated house was transformed into a vibrant multidisciplinary hub by its founders, preserving the soulful charm of old ovens and walls while installing modern projection gear, lighting, and digital tools in its lofty, open‑plan rooms. Remarkably, a glass floor panel leads down to a subterranean network of ancient tombs unearthed during renovation—tenuous traces of Cyprus’s layered past now part of the visitor journey.Today, ARTos House pulses with creativity: rotating exhibitions showcase local and international talents across visual art, dance, music, and theater; workshops and lectures activate minds; and incubator-like programs foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and social research. Its ethos—an evolving legacy from a long-standing foundation—invites thinkers and creators to unite, experiment, and ignite change through art-driven discourse.
