In Nicosia you can walk accross at Ledra Street, there is no public transport (public transport in the south is, particular on the weekend, not good) between north and south.
With a EU passport there should be no problem crossing.
Nikosia to Girne by Dolmus.
Hydrofoil and Ferries from Girne to Tasucu every day, to Alanya only in summer.
If you need a visa for Turkey , Immigration might insist on $ 20 instead of €15 visa fee. Leave a Comment

There are several motorcycle rentals in Cypros. Ordinary training and drivers licence for motorcycle was not necessary. But a permit to drive a motorcycle was issued by the police after 5 minutes talk on the police station. This was strange and dangerous.
I rented a Honda CB900, and drove around Ayia Napa and the places nearby. And also a long trip from Ayia Napa along the coastal road to Larnaca and Limassol (see photos). Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

Larnaca International Airport is the main airport of the Republic of Cyprus. It was opened in 1975 after the Turkish invasion in 1974. The former international airport at Nicosia closed in 1974. It is not a very sophisticated airport by any standard with only one passenger terminal. Nevertheless approximately five millions passengers use the airport every year, the majority of them local and foreign tourists.
Larnaca International Airport also comprises a cargo terminal and an engineering hangar. The airport is managed by Hermes Airports Ltd according to the airport's website below. You may also e-mail to the following address for further information regarding Larnaca International Airport:- info@hermesairports.com Leave a Comment

All flights to and from Ercan airport (near Northern Nicosia) go via Turkey, although some flights to the UK only touch down for half an hour or so, meaning you don't have to change planes.
If you are changing planes note that it is not possible to have your luggage checked through.
Don't lissen to airline staff which tell you anything else. In the end they always realize that it isn't possible or worse : your luggage gets offloaded in Istanbul and you don't receive it once you reach your final desination.
That means that you need to pick up your luggage in Turkey, go through customs and immigration, re-check the lugggage and got back thorugh immigration. I.e. leave at least 2-3 hours between connecting flights. If you are flying onward with the same aircraft, then there is no need to do this.
Airlines flying to Ercan are Turkish Airlines, Cyprus Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, Atlasjet.
Flights go to most major Turkish cities, including Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Adana and Antalya. Theme: Airplane

Taxis from Larnaca airport to Nicosia cost around 40-50 euros.
There is now an airport bus service which goes to Larnaca downtown and Nicosia city centre during daytime hours.
Don't listen to the tourist guide books advertising so-called "shared-taxis". These do exist, but you have to arrange for them well in advance and they have nothing in common with the shared taxis you might now from other Middle Eastern countries. Theme: Bus

Boat cruise with stop for swimming is one of the popular tourist attractions in Cyprus. You may begin your boat cruise from many jetties around the island, the more popular one is from Aya Napa. The boat will take you along the coast right up to the ghost city of Famagusta and return back to the jetty. Onboard the boat are light meals and drinks where passengers can purchase at a reasonable price. We have certainly enjoyed this boat cruise! Please visit our Cyprus travelogues for more pictures of boat cruise in Cyprus. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

Be very careful when picking the car up, the agent will try to up-sell you options which the car probably already has. We had a car booked through Sixt, when we picked it up we were charged an extra 35.00 euros for air-con and 70 euros for a full tank of fuel and to bring it back empty.
1. The car was a tiny little fiat, with a 1 litre engine, and only has a fuel capacity of 45 litres. At the current price of 1.05 euro a litre, that is a rip-off
2. I was advised to bring the car back empty of fuel, I asked the agent how could I bring it back empty of fuel, as I would not get it there without fuel, all he could do was give an empty stare.
3. The car I picked up was the only one left in the parking lot, the car was already assigned to me and already had air-con, so why charge extra for it. I asked if he could remove the air-con ;-) again, an empty stare.
Anyway, the second time I hired a car, I used Rhino Car Hire, all there prices are fully inclusive and I did not pay anything extra when I picked it up from Paphos Airport. It was mucho better.
Air conditioning too is really a must have during the summer months as letting the window down will only make the inside of the car hotter. With the benefit of air conditioning you can escape the midday heat and travel around the island in comfort plus if you buy any food etc., you really need to keep it cool inside the car otherwise it can `turn' very quickly in the heat.
Check out the Terms and Conditions with the hire car company as they tend to vary from company to company and it is worth paying out for the optional excess insurance to avoid any excess charges should you be unfortunate enough to have to make a claim, it only costs just under £5 a day but could save you hundreds of pounds.

There are currently no ferry boats running between Cyprus and Lebanon. They stopped a few years ago. I actually took the ferry between them, but they have been stopped for a couple of years now. You can go to Syria though.
The link below shows all ferry services between Cyprus and other countries of the region. If they every re-instate the service, it would be listed here. (I will update this tip then as well!)
You can, however, fly between the 2 countries with several airlines. Leave a Comment
