Why cross the North Cyprus border?
Certainly, with so much to see and do in Northern Cyprus, you may not feel the need to cross the border at all! However, if you are visiting Nicosia for the first time, you cannot really get a complete picture of the city from just the Northern Cyprus side. The magnificent Venetian walls of Nicosia contain a wealth of treasures and ancient sites, and it would be a shame to miss half of them. Also, there is the feeling that a city so divided for so long should now celebrate the opportunity to cross into either side at will. As a visitor to Northern Cyprus, you can help to celebrate and cement this new freedom simply by walking across the border.
