O, Ti Na' Nai

Nicosia (Lefkosia)


We love sitting in the graffiti-covered and pot-plant-filled alleyway in front of this narrow, laid-back bar-cafe, with a Cypriot coffee mid-afternoon or a cold Keo later, while the bar's cat patrols the area. Happy hour (5pm to 9pm) brings beer, wine and shots for €2.
