Getting to North Cyprus

There are several options for getting to North Cyprus, but by far the easiest and worry free is to book through a reputable and specialist holiday company that will arrange a stay to accommodate all tastes that include, walking, botanical and archaeological tours.

Sanctions still prevent truly direct flights to the country and all aircraft will land at an airport in Turkey en-route. Some flights involve a change of aircraft others do not. If an aircraft change is required it is necessary to follow the signs for “Transit Passengers” and not go through passport control where a visa fee of ten pounds will be levied.

Although Cyprus is a member of the EU. North Cyprus is not included and visitors will have their passports, or a visa form, stamped with a three month visa. No fee is required. British citizens with North Cyprus visa stamps in their passports will not be prevented from entering Greek Cyprus, Greece or its dominions, or crossing the border between north and south.

Lavinia Neville Smith first came to North Cyprus in 1995, and fell in love with the country and the Turkish Cypriot people. A self confessed dilettante, with a varied working career, it was not until she returned in 1997 and went into tourism that she was able to put to good use her knowledge of history, ancient and modern, acquired long ago at school. She is a co-author of the Landmark Visitors Guide to North Cyprus, and continues to promote this beautiful country as far afield as possible.
