My family are due to come out on holiday in september to protaras. Could some one tell me what the nearest boarder points(and where on the map etc) would be and if i would be able to take a hire car across.
Many thanks

Mark,
Though the hire car companies dont like it, Yes you can take a hire car across(Local Insurance here is 3 EUROS a day), You'll hear all sorts of scare stories and other forms of Propaganda, Dont believe a word.There are plenty of GC registered cars here at the moment(hire cars and private), Avis and Budget are two that spring to mind
You are perfectly safe here in the North, Think that the best crossing point for you would be Black Knight on one of the Soveriegn Bases. will look up the route and re-post. |

Why do you want to spoil your holiday? ... or are you one of those holiday makers that turns up after wars, earthquakes, disasters to get some sense of cheap thrills, relishing atrocities in a sadistic capacity .... |

 ... who mentioned names?
The north part of the Island is under occupation and is effectively a war zone devastated of its natural and rightful inhabitants. Hence anyone "visiting" there is going to ogle at the equivalent of a battle-zone .... the aftermath of war, an ethnically cleansed "relic" .... I know some people feel good looking at misery. |

Oracle, look at it another way, anyone "visiting" there is going to ogle at how the Turks are unable to maintain an area of outstanding beauty! |
