Driving in
Northern Cyprus is the most advisable form of transport as there are
infrequent bus services to many of the more remote areas of the country;
and bus services cease to operate after 5:00 p.m. Road surfaces between
major towns and villages are reasonably good, but some mountain and
village roads are still unsurfaced, so care should be taken especially in
wet weather. Visitors wishing to bring their own car to Northern Cyprus
from abroad may do so for a period of up to 3 months provided the vehicle
has a valid registration license from its country of origin. Visitors in
Cyprus can drive using a valid international driving license or a valid
driving license from their country of origin. Visitors bringing their own
cars from abroad will need to purchase insurance upon entry to Northern
Cyprus. Most petrol stations are open from 7:00 a.m. and close around 8:00
a.m. Some however, stay open later and there is an increasing number of
stations which operate 24 hours a day. Free municipal parking is available
in all major towns.
In Northern Cyprus, drive on the left. Traffic
and road signs are International. Maximum speed is 100km./hr. Drivers are
prohibited to drive under the influence of alcohol. The limit is 50 mgr
(As in Europe).
