Hi, the heel on my boots has worn down and before it gets too bad it thought I'd get them repaired. Can anyone recommend a cobbler in the Catalkoy to Girne end of town please. I saw there might be one in Girne and wondered if it was still there and if anyone had directions? Thanks so much.

The cobblers in Girne is down a passage along from the Colony Hotel & after the chemist shop. A rusty old sign points the way. He closes for lunch & random other times !!!

It is behind the Taxi rank Kombos, I think but he has a phone number on the door if he is closed and speaks good English.



We have used him a few times and does a good job.



Sometimes will do while you wait but otherwise within a day or two.

The Cobbler opposite the Dome is good and he speaks perfect English, he is based upstairs in the shoe shop.

There`s one at Karaoglanoglu. Turn right to go to Edremit and it`s on your almost immediate right.

Does anyone have the phone number for the cobbler opposite the dome, yesterday I took my boots to be repaired and he said he felt ill but would do them, went back today but not done, he has promised to do them for tomorrow and I forgot to ask for his number to save myself another wasted walk!

There is a new one on the other side of the road between the new Lemar and Cratos hotel. It is an upmarket shoe shop, he also makes his own shoes. I had my boots done for 10 tl. The shop is called Fehmiler, next to a swimming pool shop.
