Does anyone know the location of Dervish Pasha Sokak inside the walled part of Lefkosa?

It's in the Arabahmet district, close to the Roccas Bastion (Yigitlar park).



Assuming a start at Kyrenia gate, just follow the walls round to the part where the wall itself forms the green line. Just before a new car parking area, before you get as far as the bastion, you will see it on your left. it's a narrow street that cuts across to Salahi Sevket Street (Still widely known by its colonial name, Victoria Street)



It's an interesting part of the city, having been largely abandoned in 1974 as it was so close to the green Line. Paphos Gate is just a stone's throw away. Over the last few years it has been largely refurbisshed as part of the Nicosia Master plan.
