The northern half of Cyprus’ capital Nicosia is
known as Lefkoşa, a dizzying labyrinth of narrow, old streets. This part of the
city is the capital and the largest city of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Nicosia is the world's last divided capital after
Berlin was unified.
Buyuk Han, meaning ‘the Great Inn’, is the largest caravanserai
on the island. It was built by the Ottomans in 1572. Buyuk Han is
host to many tourists in Nicosia. Not only the cafes, but also various shops
serve the visitors. Shawls, traditional handicrafts, paintings, pottery and
carvings are among the many things on offer.
