North Cyprus Guide
This is the general start page. Use the buttons above for the full tourist or student guide; below, practical needs (SIM, neighbourhood, groceries, bookings) link into KKTCBAVS services.
You arrived
First day from the airport: SIM, cash and direction. KKTCBAVS is the local marketplace for shopping, groceries, services and tables in North Cyprus.
- At Ercan (ECN) exit: Turkish Lira (TL) cash or card; ATMs also line the Kyrenia / Nicosia road.
- Local SIM (TRNC operators) or eSIM — location helps delivery and the Nearby map.
- Airport → Kyrenia (north coast) or Nicosia (centre) by minibus / taxi; short hop — agree the fare first.
- Districts: Nicosia, Kyrenia, Famagusta, Morphou, İskele, Lefke.
Stay & neighbourhood
Pick district / neighbourhood first — local showcase and delivery follow it. Add an address on your profile to see nearby shops clearly.
- Kyrenia: coast, tourism, cafes; Nicosia: centre and daily needs; Famagusta / İskele: east coast; Lefke / Morphou: campus and quieter living.
- Use Nearby to see shops and venues close to you (Leaflet map — not Google Maps).

Daytime markets and neighbourhood shops in Local; island-wide products in Shop. Check the map for what is close.
