Photos from Nicosia (behind the Green Line) in Northern Cyprus

Photos from behind the "Green Line" in the Turkish occupied area of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)








Taken in May 2008 in the occupied area of Nicosia. This was a little cafe/bar we stopped at after walking through the crossing point on Ledra Street.













Two, ice cold Efes (Turkish lager) to quench our thirst after waiting to cross the Green Line at Ledra Street crossing point in Nicosia.














Bit of an odd name for a sports shop!















Buytuk Han / Great Inn - an Ottoman building constructed between 1570 and 1572. Originally built to accommodate tradesmen and visitors. Now, it houses shops selling local and traditional handicrafts of Cyprus as well as a restaurant.

These photos were taken on 9 July 2009.











Buytuk Han / Great Inn - is built on a square plan with hewn stone.
