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.
