[/quote]Actually GAV. Petsas tell you categorically that your rented car CANNOT be taken over to the north.
Having said that a taxi will take you over there and for a Brit to cross over its relatively easy.[/quote].
We have to make clear this situation because rent a cars can be taken in the North (GCs always says that you cant take but dont beleive it) as long as you pay £10 insurance on the door and you can stay in north as much as you like . I rent many time from petsas and i took the car north may be 20 times . Ask micheal in Nicosia the manager. If tourist come always they tell dont pass north bla bla bla but its not true. All cyprus in EU and because you are Eu citizen you are allowed to go every point of it. And for the car its not problem at all. I dont like this attitude that they tell u cant go north . One time the guy thought i m tourist and i didnt mention that i m a TC and what a things he tell me you cant imagine. After when i told him i m TC he surprised and said sorry. Now i have my own car there and no need to rent .I can send many pictures about how i pass north cyprus with GC rentacars. I will send you some pictures as well.

you're mad! in a fun way.
The horror stories about the standards of driving in Cyprus on the roads in general. Boy racers and the like. Running me off the road! haha
So how much taxi from LCA airport to Larnaca to begin my journey then? Would that be expensive? Looks like a car is best for me then unless anyone else thinks that the transport system is worth a try...

Dont worry . Noone will inturrupt you on the roads and they drive very slow like uk. Trust me you will be safe. I m sure noone here will tell you use transport because we dont have it or you have to wait long . Taxi will cost you Min £4 and £1 a mile. same like london. Larnaca will cost you about £10. Tell me when you coming and i know this petsas owner michalis and i will get you very good deal . You can also try lastminute.com for car rental but i will get you cheaper . Myself every time i go holiday i rent a car and trust me you will endup paying more if you take taxis where you want to . When you rent a car you can go anywhere you like night and day . If you need more help with your holiday let me know and i can try to help you asmuch as i can .
