Easy to find. Out of the bus terminal, turn right. Walk down Regina Street about 500 metres straight on to Ledra Street. 3 minute walk.

Hi Dailoukat. They are talking about the bus terminal in the South not North. To get to Ledra Street from Girne - Catch a bus(dolmus)from Girne to Lefkosa.opp the post office/big carpark.) You buy yr ticket from a man who will tell you which bus to get on for Lefkosa.He is usually standing or sitting at the bus stops and calling out"lefkosa - Nicosia" !. So you cant miss him !Get off at Girne kapisi (Kyrenia gate) If you dont know where it is.Sit near the driver and ask him.Walk into the old city and follow signs(or ask someone) to lokmaci kapisi. The crossing is there and it takes you you ledra street where Debanhams etc are. Dont forget passport !

Hi dailoukat,yes,Kyrenia gate(Girne kapisi) is in Lefkosa. Its about 10mins(or less) easy walk to Lokmaci. Once you pass thru the crossing you will be standing in Ledra street where Debenhams etc is. You could get a taxi but I think that the actual area around the crossing is pedestrianised so you would have to walk a little bit.
