Laiki Geitonia, a restored traditional quarter of old Nicosia near Ledra Street, is a pedestrian maze of narrow lanes with craft shops, souvenir stores and tavernas in restored houses. It is a pleasant place to browse for Cypriot handicrafts, ceramics, jewellery and gifts amid the historic architecture. The picturesque quarter offers an easy and atmospheric introduction to shopping for local products and souvenirs in the heart of the walled city.
