Nicosia is the only city on Cyprus that nobody visits for the beach. It is the capital, and it is built on a different logic from the coastal resorts: inland, with no sea access, surrounded by Venetian walls around the old centre and run on everyday working life.

Nicosia's defining trait is that it is a divided city. The Green Line cuts straight through the old centre, and the Ledra Street pedestrian crossing is the most well-known checkpoint on the island. From the south side you can walk into the Turkish-Cypriot north in five minutes without a vehicle. The nearest crossing for cars, Agios Dometios, sits ten minutes from the centre.

Nicosia is about urban impressions, not road routes. Travellers come for a day or two, walk the Venetian walls, dip into the museums, cross to the north side via Ledra Street, drink coffee under the Selimiye minarets. The car spends most of that time parked rather than driving.

Car hire in Nicosia is usually about reaching the city and leaving it, more than driving inside it. Most travellers come from Larnaca on the A2 (forty to fifty minutes) or from Limassol on the A1 (around an hour). Nicosia has no working airport — the old international airport closed in 1974 and now sits inside the buffer zone.

For travellers planning to see Northern Cyprus, Nicosia is the most convenient base. The pedestrian Ledra crossing needs no licence, no special insurance, no rental car. Many clients leave the car parked in the south and walk into the north city for the day.

How to pick up a car in Nicosia without an airport

With no airport of its own, Nicosia uses two pickup paths. The first is collecting at Larnaca (LCA) and driving forty to fifty minutes north on the A2. This is the most common approach: the road is flat with no serpentines, and it works well as a first day on right-hand drive. The Paphos (PFO) alternative routes via Limassol — about an hour and a half — and is more practical for travellers planning a longer coastal loop into the trip.

The second path is hotel delivery in Nicosia. The service is paid; figure on around sixty to eighty euros from either airport, scaling with distance. It works well if you reach Nicosia by airport bus or pre-booked transfer, and only need the car for trips out of the city later in the holiday.

Nissan March Kipre

Puikus automobilis, ekonomiškas, dėl savo dydžio labai lengvai pastatomas. Dėl spalvos jis nepasimeta kitų automobilių masėje automobilių stovėjimo aikštelėse, jį labai lengva rasti. Juo apvažiavome beveik visą salą, puikiai veikė ir lyjant lietui, ir tamsoje. Puikus matomumas. Puiki šviesa. Stabdžiai efektyvūs ir patikimi.
