Figuring out where to buy stationery in Northern Cyprus is one of the first questions many people ask — especially at the start of the school year, when you’ve just moved to the island, or when you’re kitting out a new office. Notebooks, pens, filing supplies, art materials: everything you need is out there, but finding the right shop, a fair price and quick delivery all at once isn’t always straightforward.
This guide walks you through the best-known stationery stores across the TRNC — mainly in Nicosia, Kyrenia and Famagusta — along with trusted online shops and budget-friendly second-hand options, clearly and simply.
Buying Stationery in Northern Cyprus: The Quick Overview
On the island you can cover your stationery needs through three main channels: physical store chains, online stationery shops, and second-hand or budget listing platforms. Because supermarket stationery aisles only stock the basics (a handful of notebooks, pens and erasers), a dedicated stationery store is the smarter choice when you want quality, variety or a bulk order. Below we break the options down both by city and by shopping channel.
Stationery Stores in Nicosia (Lefkoşa)
As the capital, Nicosia offers the widest choice of stationery on the island. The standout addresses:
Deniz Plaza
Deniz Plaza is one of the most established and widespread chains in the TRNC. It’s well stocked with textbooks, notebooks, drawing supplies, office products and children’s books, and it also offers photocopying and printing. Its main branches in and around Nicosia:
- Deniz Plaza – Nicosia (main store)
- Deniz Plaza – Nicosia (Yenikent)
- Deniz Plaza – Nicosia (Gönyeli)
- Deniz Plaza – Nicosia (West)
Gezegen Kırtasiye
Based in the Küçük Kaymaklı district, Gezegen Kırtasiye stands out for having both a physical store and a strong online operation. It carries a broad range of school, office and hobby supplies. View on map »
Berberoğlu
Trading since 1970, Berberoğlu is a long-standing stationer and one of students’ first stops, particularly for textbooks and study materials. It has several branches in Nicosia and one in Kyrenia.
Other Nicosia Addresses
Beyond these, Güneş Kırtasiye, Uysal Kırtasiye, Gülver Ticaret Kitap Kırtasiye and Doku-Kitap Kırtasiye (Lefkoşa Kitabevi) are also well-reviewed favourites.
Stationery Stores in Kyrenia (Girne)
If you’re in Kyrenia, Deniz Plaza (Kyrenia) and Berberoğlu (Kyrenia) are again strong options. There’s also Mr. Pound Cyprus, known for its fixed, wallet-friendly pricing — a handy pick for small office and school items on a budget.
Famagusta (Gazimağusa) and Other Regions
In Famagusta, the Deniz Plaza branches clustered around Eastern Mediterranean University are the easiest for students to reach:
Mr. Pound also operates in Famagusta. In areas like İskele and Güzelyurt, where choices are more limited, ordering online is often the most practical route.
Shopping for Stationery Online: Delivered to Your Door
If you’d rather not trek from shop to shop, online stationery shopping is becoming more and more common in the TRNC. Two reliable standouts:
Gezegen Kırtasiye (gezegenkirtasiye.com) delivers island-wide. By the store’s own stated terms, delivery to all city centres takes 48 hours, and to areas outside the centres 72 hours; orders placed after 10:00 are processed the next business day. So if something’s urgent, it pays to order first thing in the morning.
Deniz Shop (denizshop.com) is Deniz Plaza’s online store and offers free shipping over a set order value. Platforms such as Pengu Toys (pengutoys.com) and Nesdersan.com are further online options for school and office supplies.
Second-Hand and Budget Stationery / Office Gear
If you’re setting up an office in particular, buying items like a printer, laminator, paper cutter, filing cabinet or whiteboard brand new can stretch your budget. This is where the second-hand market really pays off.
In Northern Cyprus, the go-to platform for safely buying and selling both new and used goods is PazarKibris. From office equipment to student supplies, you can browse countless listings in one place and negotiate directly with the seller. During moving, graduation and office-refresh seasons, plenty of well-priced items go up for sale.
What to Keep in Mind When Buying Stationery in Northern Cyprus
Drawing up a shopping list before you head out saves both time and money. Stores get busy at the start of the school year (August–September), so getting in early is an advantage. Shops often discount bulk orders, so always ask if you’re buying for a whole class or office. When ordering online, check the delivery time and any free-shipping threshold. And with second-hand office equipment, it’s worth confirming the item is in working order before you accept it.
