Where the hotel is
Valide Hanım Konak is a konak-style guesthouse inside the walled city of Lefkoşa (Nicosia), Northern Cyprus, surrounded by the lanes of the old town. The Büyük Han (Great Inn) and the Selimiye Mosque are a few minutes' walk away, and the narrow streets of the old bazaar begin practically at the door. Nagas Premium Hotel, Enkaya Hotel and TasEv Boutique Hotel are all close by, within a short walk.
Cars cannot always reach every doorway in the tight lanes of the walled city. Your driver will stop at the nearest accessible point to Valide Hanım Konak and show you the last short stretch on foot. Arranging to meet at the same spot for the return keeps departure day simple, even with luggage.
