Selected pickup city: Nicosia
Destination guide
Nicosia is unusual for a European capital in being divided by a UN buffer zone, with the old town's Venetian walls enclosing streets on both the Greek and Turkish Cypriot sides. A car is most useful for reaching the rest of the island from here, since central Nicosia's old core is walkable.
Route ideas by car
The Troodos Mountains are under an hour south, offering hill villages and hiking that contrast sharply with the flat coastal resorts most visitors see first.
Local rental tips
Crossing into the northern part of the city on foot is generally straightforward with a passport, but driving a rental car across the Green Line has its own rules — check with your supplier before assuming it's covered. Parking within the old walls is limited.
