Ledras and Onasagorou streets in the old city are also ideal for shopping, with shops that can accommodate every age and style. The Streets invite you with open arms with their great little cafes, restaurants and welcome you for a traditional Cyprus coffee. Delicious cocktails, dinners and lunches are on offer so just walk around and choose what you fancy. From midday the two streets and their surrounding neighbourhoods slowly gather momentum into a buzzing area where you can spend your days and evenings in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that has established this particular district as a favorite amongst the locals. Walk along Makarios Avenue and Stassicratous Street which incorporate upmarket clothing, accessories, jewellery shops and mobile network stores. The Makarios Avenue is named after the first President of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios III, and is one of the main shopping areas in the capital’s centre, packed with top-of-the-range shops and brands.

Laiki Geitonia is a zone in the old area of Nicosia between the east of Lidras Street and north of the D’Avila Bastion. Its narrow cobbled streets are chock-full of traditional Cyprus architecture and churches and the neibourhood contains many restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops.
