Mehmet Akif Avenue, Main entertainment avenue in North Nicosia, Cyprus.
The 1600-meter avenue runs parallel to the Pedieos River, featuring international clothing stores, restaurants, and cafes along its length.
During British colonial rule, this avenue was named Shakespeare Avenue and included an elevated road called Irish Bridge across the river.
The avenue holds the annual Nicosia Marathon, shopping festivals, concerts, and the Nicosia Carnival, bringing together local communities.
Visitors can explore the avenue using Velespeed bike-sharing services, with stations located at various points and membership options available.
The name Dereboyu translates to 'alongside the river' in Turkish, referring to the street's position next to the Pedieos waterway.
