Bandabulya Municipal Market
Bandabulia was the first covered market built in 1932 during the British Period. Located right in the city’s old core, on today’s Green Line, Bandabuliya is the local market in the north part of Nicosia where you can find fresh fruits and vegetables and a wide range of goods, such as books, records, traditional sweets and souvenirs.
30 minutesSelimiye Mosque
The cathedral/mosque is closed for renovation at the moment. We will see it from outside.
10 minutesThe Arabahmet Mosque
Apart from the mosque, this quarter is now famous for its modern coffee houses, bars and restaurants on top of the city walls.
30 minutesBuyuk Han
The Büyük Han is the most impressive monument from Ottoman times in Cyprus. At the end of the tour this is a good place for a drink or a lunch. Normally we end our tours here, but for guests who want we offer to walk them back to the checkpoint - its only 5 minutes away
20 minutesThe Samanbahce Quater
Situated not far from the Kyrenia Gate, this small neighbourhood consisted of 72 tiny courtyard houses and was the first Social Housing Project in Cyprus. All houses were built using traditional building materials according to the traditional Nicosia-House plan. This charming neighbourhood, with its long narrow streets full of flowers and sleepy cats today, reflects Nicosia's way of life at the beginning of the 20th century.
30 minutesKyrenia Gate
!Currently the Kyrenia Gate is on a wrong position in Tripadvisor, it is actually very close to the Mevlevi Tekke!
15 minutesThe Mevlevi Tekke Museum
Located right next to the Kyrenia Gate, the 17th-century monastery Mevlevi Tekkesi was one of the most important religious buildings and places on the island and was house to the Mevlevi Order, the followers of Sufi mystic and İslamic theologian Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi. Mevlevis are also known as whirling dervishes.
