Rules in force · 6Old-town lanes have cobbles and steps
- Cyprus ↗Cyprus is in the EU but not in the Schengen area: a Schengen visa is not valid; check the entry rules for your nationality.
- Cyprus ↗Crossing the Green Line: carry your passport, cross only at the official points, and do not photograph the buffer zone or soldiers. Check that your hire-car insurance covers the north.
- Cyprus ↗Traffic drives on the left; hire-car roundabouts and junctions take practice.
- Nicosia District ↗Plan every leg outside Nicosia by car, transfer or scheduled bus; distances are short, but buses are infrequent.
- Nicosia ↗Old-town lanes have cobbles and steps: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Nicosia ↗Carry your passport to cross the Green Line; the crossing at Ledra Street is on foot, and questions about hire cars or photography go to the officers at the point.

Lock the area first. Hotel search links appear only after you decide where the pillow is — so no listing can pull you into the wrong area.
