North Nicosia (Lefkoşa)
Architectural Gems
The city is studded with sometimes crumbling, sometimes renovated but always fascinating
historic buildings. Highlights include the mosque, the Bedesten and the Büyük Han.
Best Fast Food
Forget the corner kebab house back home, this is the place to enjoy the succulent, spicy,
unforgettable real thing. Head to Girne Caddesi for several good meaty choices.
Souvenirs
A former Ottoman inn, the Büyük Han is now home to two floors of exceptional arts and
crafts shops selling items like embroidered silk, hand-painted cards, fruit preserves, ceram-
ics and jewellery.
