Out of Metehan, right and right again. Continue to T junction and turn right. Cross the roundabout with the yellow scaffold poles and continue to the newish mosque, on the left. Turn left immediately after mosque.

Keep on this road crossing all roundabouts until you come to the motorway flyover. Go straight across and turn left at next roundabout then left into Mall of Cyprus. Remember where you leave the car.

Thank you minertor for your directions, they seem very clear but unfortunately I am one of these people who get lost going round the block. I have been told to follow the signs for Larnaca after leaving Metehan, can you remember if there is anything on the roundabout where you turn off for Ikea?

Trust Minertor's instructions, they are straightforward and you cannot go wrong.

I would suggest you look for a church not a mosque!

tb,

The roundabout under the flyover is called 'the balls roundabout' as it has a collection of coloured balls on it.

This is where the road does indeed go to Larnaca if you go up onto the flyover.

You will go straight over at this roundabout.

Easist way then is to stay on the road to the next roundabaout, and take the first exit, signed also for the Hospital.

At the next roundabout, take the first exit again, and Ikea is just on your left. The Mall is next door.

the butler, if you get lost "going round the block" you're going to love you're first visit to Ikea.

Thank you all for your replies, especially minertor & yrret, I feel certain I will find Ikea now. I know what you mean about loving this shop. I actually hated going in the UK but the wife says we need to go for something. This is my first visit to the south and we have lived here 8 months now, so not bad going.
