After the invasion of the northern part of Cyprus and the expelling of most Greek Cypriot inhabitants, 9 out of the 39 Cypriot municipalities (Akanthou, Famagusta, Karavas, Kyrenia, Kyhtrea, Lapithos, Lefkonikon, Lysi and Morphou) were "displaced" to the southern part of the island, while new municipalities were established by the Turkish Cypriot authorities.
Northern Cyprus is divided into 28 municipalities grouped in 6 districts, as follows:
Gazimağusa | Girne | Lefkoşa | İskele | Güzelyurt | Lefke |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Akdoğan | Alsancak | Akıncılar | Büyükkonuk | Güzelyurt | Lefke |
Beyarmudu | Çatalköy | Alayköy | Dipkarpaz | ||
Gazimağusa | Dikmen | Değirmenlik | İskele | ||
Geçitkale | Esentepe | Gönyeli | Mehmetçik | ||
İnönü | Girne | Lefkoşa | Yeni Erenköy | ||
Paşaköy | Lapta | ||||
Serdarlı | |||||
Tatlısu | |||||
Vadili | |||||
Yeni Boğaziçi |
The Lefke district was established on 27 December 2016, separating from Güzelyurt.
