Go through Nicosia, it`s longer by distance then the alternative but much quicker.

Directions from Paphos

Turn left out of the airport.

Follow signs for lemesos this will bring you on to the A6 it is about 50kms to Lemasos (Limassol).



When you get to Lemesos go straight over every roundabout and follow signs to Lefkosia this is about 75 kms on the A1

When approaching Lefkosia (Nicosia) you need to get off at junction 3 there is a football stadium on the left just before the junction, there is a sign for Kyrenia here.



Turn left onto the Strovolos road here, follow this road all the way, you will see signs for Kyrenia along this road. Go straight on at all roundabouts until you go up a hill and at the top is a T-junction you will see a big church on the right, turn right, follow this road until you get to a roundabout, this only has 3 exits, so take the one in front of you, you will have the Coca Cola factory on your right about 200 yards up the road, at the set of traffic lights opposite the Coke factory turn left, go to the bottom of this road and you will find the border, on the TRNC side it is called Kermia, . You will need car insurance to enter the TRNC, this can be purchased at the border.

Couple of things.



Do not follow signs for Limassol - there arn't any!!!!!!!!! It is called Lemessos.



From junction 3 Kyrenia is signposted although under various spelling. Basically from the jnct 3 it is straight on across all the roundabouts. At T-junction about 5 kms turn right. Follow this road you will come to a big roundabout with a jumble of coloured metal in middle. Again straight on, Coca Cola factory on right. At T.lights turn left. Then across 2 sets of lights and you will see crossing point in front of you, bear left behind cones. Also you will see the Nicosia Horse Race course on your right.



It will take about 2 hours to get here if you stick to speed limits, and especially as it is new to you.



It is an easy route and takes you around the city.



Good luck on your mission.
