I am sure that any taxi firm will give you a route card.

ballistic I have used this route and it can be a bit tricky if you are considering a night drive this time of year, however, to answer your question.



From the airport join the motorway and head towards Limassol, as you approach Limassol take the slip road for Galata and Kakopetria. That slip road runs parallel to the elevated section of the motorway and takes you down to a roundabout . Take the Kakopetria road from there (second exit from memory) straight on straight on. Look out for the sign for Kokopetria to your right it's small and easily missed. Through Kakopetria, Evrykhou and drop down to the traffic lights in Astromeritis. At those traffic lights (a T junction) turn left for Bostanci (Zodhia) through a residential area. 2 or 3 minutes will see you at the RoC crossing point, then through the Greenline to Bostanci.



Good luck.

The Polis route into the Kato Pyrgo/Yesilermak crossing is mainly coastal but you will need to go through some mountains though. I am familiar with both routes, tell me please where is your final destination in 'Kuzey Kibris?' Someone might be able to advise you of a better route.

Simply Don't use both mountain and yeşilırmak roads, both tricky and dangerous. If this is a trip, then pick Yeşilırmak. From Paphos, take Polis road, which is not dual and then follow the sigs to Pachayamou (to the east) and then follow Limnitis sings but from Pac to limnitis, I can easily say, the most dangerous road on the island. Narrow road; hard to drive.

From Mountain; simply take Trodos road from Paphos, which is again not dual and dangerous and follow the sings to Platres/Prodomos. then take the road to Kakopetria to Astromit village (30 Km). It is very hard to find Zodya (Bostancı) sign at Astromit, but if you can (ask someone), cross the north from Zodya...
