If it is food you are after, then the downstairs of Debenham's. Not sure how manyyards, but not to many after crossing at Ledra Street, but it is on th left hand side just after Macdonalds on the right. But it is not LARGE like the big supermarkets on the peripheral roads. But the cafe on top is great!

Numpty asked "How do you get to the Ledra (Street) crossing, not the Ledra Palace one"

Well Numpty, if you know how to get to Ledra Palace, then you'll know how to get to the Girne Gate (of the old city). So, I will give directions from there :

- After passing through the said gate, drive for about 150 metres along that road - in front you should be able to see a Venetian Column.

- At the column, fork left.

- You should now see the Saray Hotel in front of you.

- Just before you reach the hotel I advise you to turn left into a narrow street.

- After about 40 metres, you'll see a car-park on your left. I advise you to park there.

- Walking out of the car park turn left.

- Walk along this road keeping the historic Büyuk Han to your right.

- After passing Büyuk Han you will come across the narrow Arasta Sokak ... famous for its fabric shops.

- Walk the 40 metres along Arasta Sokak, and at the end of it, you are less than 30 metres from the Lokmacı (Ledra Street) crossing.

By the way, if you get lost, then ask someone for the "Lokmaci Barikati?" - don't forget though that the (English) pronounciation of "Lokmaci" would be something like "lokmaja".

I hope that helps you Numpty
