Where the hotel is
Zuma Hotel is a city hotel set inside the walled old town of Lefkoşa (Nicosia), in the Surlariçi quarter of Northern Cyprus. Selimiye Mosque and the Büyük Han (Great Inn) are both a few minutes' walk away, among the historic lanes of the centre. Neighbouring places to stay include Enkaya Hotel, Valide Hanım Konak and Nagas Premium Hotel.
Your private transfer from Ercan Airport (ECN) runs door to door, with the driver waiting in arrivals with a name sign. Lanes inside the walls are narrow and some are closed to traffic, so the vehicle will stop at the nearest accessible point to the hotel; pack so that you can wheel your luggage the last short stretch. The price is fixed and you pay in the vehicle.
