Nicosia District Travel Forum

Hi All,

I will be in Ayia Napa from November 29 to December 9, 2007.

I know winter is not really the best time to party there, but I would like to make the best of it.. anyone wanna join me ?

I love partying and I am an easy going person.

Any one else traveling during the same days?

I spent good 4 yrs in Cyprus (1990-1994). Never got chance to go back again and now am missing the place. Can someone send me pictures of places in Nicosia like: Eleftheria Square, Mike's Square Cafe (used to be somewhere around Eleftheria sq.), Old campus of Intercollege on Heron Ave, Dhikomo '74 (an open-air tavern for kleftiko), and such any other places in Nicosia.

We're looking forward to our first ever visit to Cyprus, in August. What we aren't so sure about though is just 'how' we make sure our 15 year old son is entertained enough.

Right up until this year we've always had two children with us, but daughter dearest has decided she is now far too old to be going on vacation with her middle aged parents, so poor son is left somewhat adrift.

He loves swimming, so we know the Water Park will be good for a couple of days. So too, I hope, will the local Nisi Beach be good for some snorkelling. But we're staying for fourteen days.... So.... we thought maybe there might be some beach(es) with waves enough for a relatively good swimmer and his father to try out some body-boarding and/or surfing?

Any ideas, anyone? Any other ideas that might grab the interest of our young man?

Virtual hugs, and my eternal gratitude, for anyone with useful advice.

Hi, Im going to Olympic Lagoon Hotel in october with husband and twin 6 year olds, has anyone visited this Hotel in middle of October and was it still warm enough for swimming? Is October winter start in Cyprus? Also, are there any reasonably priced restaurants nearby (walking distance)? I heard the garden or garden of eden is nice. Best regards Lagoon Lady

Dear All,

I will arrive with Cyprus Turkish Airways in the morning of 23jun from Istanbul. I will have 24 hours in Northern Cyprus, before flying back on the next morning with Pegasus to Antalya.

Is there any public transportation from Ercan airport to Nicosia/Lefkosa? Internet searches resulted that no... How much would a taxi cost?
Is there any possibilty to walk (or if it's too far away take a taxi) to a town or village nearby and get public transportation from there? I couldn't find any map of Northern Cyprus which is detailled enough to find an answer to this question.

Next point: Where shall I sleep? I thought about getting back to the airport before sunset and sleep there. I guess it's opened round the clock as there are very early morning departures? Or is there any cheap hostel or similar (I'm on a budget) in Nicosia/Lefkosa. If not on the Northern Cyprus side, maybe on the other side? (although I guess I would not be allowed to enter Cyprus coming in from the North, even I have a EU passport).

Is it worth to take a bus to the sea just for half a day from Nicosia/Lefkosa? How much would it cost? Is public transportation reliable and safe?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi

I need to spend a week in Nicosia this summer but would also like to spend some time at a nice beach. Are there any in or around Nicosia or could you tell me where the nearest beach to Nicosia is please?

Is crossing to North Cyprus a straightforward thing these days? Are there issues coming back if you get your passport stamped? What time can you cross from in the morning and do you need to be back by in the evening if you choose to cross for the day?

Hi,

How could I get to Bulgaria from Nicosia?

Thanks for helping,

This is my first posting, so I'm not quite sure how this works yet... Bear with me.

I'm travelling to Cyprus on May 7th with my Uncle who has business associates there. He will be in meetings all day, based in Nicosia. I'm basically on my own.

I'm looking for suggestions of what to see while I'm there. I do want to spend a day or two just on the beach. My uncle has suggested Nissi Bay.

Please leave me any input! Thanks!

Anyone know which side of the green line the race course is?

I am a 61 year old lady non driver.Would I feel safe wandering around Nicosia on my own while my husband is in Nicosia for a business meeting?

Hi I'm looking for a simple fact answer about the Old City of Nicosia ... I would like to know about the diameter of the old city, and how many square km has the old city at all - within the walls,

Hello all,

I have heard from my colleagues that it is not possible for me to cross the green line in Nicosia from Cyprus to the Republic of Northern Cyprus and take a flight from Nicosia to Istanbul or Ankara. They tell me that I may be arrested or get into trouble on my return as this is considered illegal. That is to improperly leave and then re-enter Cyprus without going through customs so to speak?

Does anyone know the true story here? Flights from Nicosia are much cheaper and direct. If not, I would have to fly from Larnaca to Turkey via the ME or somewhere and that would add both time and expense. Thanks.

Very much appreciated.

Bill.
