Thanks for this information! I'm suprised of the taxi cost from Nicosia to Girne. It is not a big distance but more than £20? Are there no other means of transport (bus, collective taxi)?

There are buses which run from Nicosia to Girnie on a regular basis.
I was suprised to hear some one say that a taxi was about £20 so I will check and come back with the info.
On my last entry I said that the people on both side were nice,I forgot to mention that there are exceptions to the rule and it took Twinkle's comments to remind me.

Can someone name all crossing-stations (for cars) especially in the west?

Ayios Dhometios only, I think. Pyla on the East

Twinkle. Accepted.
As Twinkle has said Dhometios and Pila but you are best going to Pila or come to Nicosia.

Foolow up to that.
Metahan ( Nicosia ) is the only one to do Insurance if you are bringing a car across.
