No need to look it up on google earth just ask someone from the forum.

1. After passing the checkpoint turn left from the roundabout towards the Road to Morphou.

2. At the traffic lights turn left towards the big Gonyeli roundabout and from their drive straight towards Famagusta.

3. After about 15-20 km you will come to the Ercan Airport exit ( a bridge over the road) from here turn left from the first exit (the second exit goes over th bridge towards the airport)

3. Keep driving straight through numerous villages until you get to İskele, where you will come to a main road crossing. From here turn left towards Karpas and just keep on driving without getting off th main road and in the end you will get to Risokarpas ( Dipkarpas in turkish)

Travelling along Google earth has become my favorite hobby. It took me a while to realise that I kept getting lost because of the new motorways.

I managed to discover that my favorite vine yard has disappeared as well as half out almond trees near the village. I wont miss the almond trees, I fell off them so many times. :twisted:

Rizokarpaso, the easiest place to find. There is only one road worth mentioning as Umit says.

The maps on this web site seem to give better definition. It is also a google site. You may have to click twice or make two attemps to get it. Find Cyprus and enlarge. Seems very clear. Better than Google Earth. I am not saying its the best map so far.
