We have heard, through a UN contact, that Ledra Palace is now open to Civilian cars. Has anyone else heard this or actually gone through in their civilian car? It has always been a "walk through" for civilians and only UN vehicles were allowed through. Anyone confirm or deny? Thanks

I would also like to know the answer to this question.

I doubt if it would make a great deal of difference to most TC's and expats, as they usually tend to head for Homebase, the Mall, or Orphanides and now Lidl, for supermarket shopping or DIY/construction and engineering supplies.



If they only want to browse, or shop for clothes, shoes, etc., they can save themselves the €25 car insurance fee and walk across at Lokmaci, or Ledra Palace.

All that said that most will know, but not answered the question!

I remember seeing a South registered Bentley trying to cross back to the south a couple of years ago.Lots of shouting and arms waving,but he got turned back.
