Pax, - thank you - good to know there is a crossing albeit inland a bit, but saves travelling back through Nicosia and gives us more chance to see more of the island.

Oracle - May do again if find it really enjoyable, but have already booked flights etc this year.

No Turks. Resumption of a free democracy without racist segregations such as imposed by 43,000 warmongering turkish troops.

..... makes for a nicer holiday!

It is not correct information . U have to inform the company .

we did have a visitor from France . He came to Cyprus from Larnaka airport . he rented a Z car from south (larnaka) . He drove his car true the Kermia (Metehan Check) point .He insured the car at boarder for 3 days (20Euro) . Insurance can be montly or at least for tree days (which is third party). He stayed for 3 days in Nicosia and return back to France this morning . He will come back again on Monday evening using same root stay in north till we finish our work .

North Cyprus Border Crossings – where to find themThe most popular Northern Cyprus border crossing is at Metehan in Nicosia. This crossing is also known as Agios Dometios, and you join the flow of locals on bikes, vehicles and on foot who cross the border daily to shop, do business or just for pleasure. At the Ledra Palace border crossing in the west of the city, you can only cross on foot or by bicycle unless you have a diplomatic car! Further west again, you can cross the border with a vehicle at Güzelyurt, which is known by a causing assortment of names; Astromeritis, Morpho, Morfu, Omorfo or Zohdia, depending which community you come from! The two remaining border crossings are contained within the British Eastern Sovereign Base Area; the Black Knight crossing (also known as Akyar, Azios Nikolaos, or Strovilia) and the Pergamos crossing (also known as Beyarmudu, or Dhekelia).

GTraveller ... are you the sort of person who would have taken a holiday whilst South Africa was experiencing apartheid?

Because even if it was slightly acceptable then, we are all a lot wiser, more sensitive, nowadays and it is definitely nasty to holiday in regions that practice state-racism ...
