Goverment Offices - Lefkosa

[ljarvo]

Hi,

Can anyone advise how I get to the Government offices in Lefkosa? Also the best place to park for this. Thank you

ljarvo - which departmental Government office do you need to visit? There are offices throughout Lefkosa.

Hi - I am visiting the Ministry of Public Works and Transport.

Thank you

I am almost sure that building lies within a huge complex of Governmental buildings close to the Ministry of Immigration. The Google location is:
35, 11'45.29 N
33, 21'05.02 E

Ok thank you - silly question how do I use the google numbers you have given - best place to park - is it just as you come through the tourist info tower? many thanks

Go to Google Earth and search for Lefkosa. When the screen appears, run your cursor over the page and look in the bottom right corner of the screen for the latitude/longitude numbers I gave you, once you have the same numbers - that's where it is. I am unsure what tourist tower you are relating to. There is ample parking outside of the complexes there and a large car park behind the buildings. Where are you starting your journey from?

I will be coming from Girne.

OK, at the end of the Girne-Lefkosa dual carriageway you will arrive at a large roundabout. Go straight over (2nd left exit). Pass the State Hospital on your left, straight on at traffic lights and the next roundabout. You will then notice a large road filtering in from the left (busy junction). Straight on - but now get into the left lane of traffic. At the next set of traffic lights filter left (Merit Hotel will be at the 2 o'clock position as you approach the junction and there is a petrol station on the right-hand side of the road.) After approximately 200 metres you will see a number of governmental buildings on the right-hand side of the road (one-way traffic system). Loads of parking around the streets and large car parks adjacent. I think the department building you want is the last one of the various buildings on the left as you face the complex. There are also a lot of polite English-speaking policemen around the entrances.
