I came out to TRNC 18 months ago and found 1001. I am out in a couple of weeks and need to get plates, cups, cutlery etc and don't want to walking around for ever finding it again. Can someone please tell me the easiest way to get there!!!

Hi Lee, from the Ataturk statue, straight up with the sea at your back. Past the orange, cross the junction and 1001 is 50 yds on the right

Walk in to Girne if you are coming from the main car park near the post office (most people do) down the slope and where you come to the crossroads where the jewellers and Limmasol bank is on your left,turn left here and 1001 shop is 100 yards on your right.

I was on a mission to 2001 S.O. but missed it by a thousand and ended up in TRNC!

if you are leaving the airport it is on your left just as you turn left onto the main road headed back to Girne

Hi leethemille,



The crockery at 1001 is a bit loud to say the least. I bought all my crockery and cutlery and household goods at Astro Supermarket. Good quality for a good price and you can park outside and wheel it in your trolley to your car. Astro supermarket is on the main road from Girne to Lapta.

1001 at Ercan - a jolly fine selection of gross plastic flowers and a multitude of other tat. Great fun to visit though!

We bought plain white crockery from Lemar in a boxed set and they also had extra bowls and things that matched that you could buy separately. Very reasonably priced and decent quality. It is definitely worth checking out the supermarkets for crockery as 1001 can be a bit garish to say the least!
