North Cyprus is a self declared state that comprises the northeastern part of the island of Cyprus. Tickets can be found through Kayak, or you can book a flight through Ercan International Airport in Northern Cyprus.
Ercan, Cyprus is mainly known for its airport and can be called the gateway to the mysterious island of Aphrodite. Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean Ocean. Cyprus is divided by a border or green line and Ercan is in the Northern part of Cyprus. North Cyprus is not as developed and under Turkish influence, while the south part of Cyprus is under Greek influence. Cyprus is a melting pot of the European, Asian, and African cultures; it is also referred to as the playground of the world. Cyprus is an ancient island, and its serious side is evidenced with a museum of antiquity in every town. The beaches are unparalleled as are the accommodations. Villas are available for rent close to Ercan that are quite reasonable and beautiful. Ercan is sometimes known as Tymbou which is a nearby ancient village. Ercan, Cyprus is the gateway to the unspoiled world of northern Cyprus; the ancient island that is like none other in the world.
Yes they can. The British High Commission in Cyprus gives the following information: "British and other foreign nationals who have entered Cyprus through the north (e.g. Ercan airport) are considered by the Government of the Republic of Cyprus to have entered Cyprus through an illegal port of entry. The Government of the Republic of Cyprus reserves the right to fine EU (including British) citizens for illegal entry if they cross into the south. In practice, their current policy is not to do so." This is correct.
They certainly do to North Cyprus! Pegasus Airlines fly to Ercan International Airport in the TRNC via Istanbul (all North Cyprus flights have a set-down in Turkey). Their prices are good, they have excellent legroom too, and a good record of departing on time. Compare that with some of the airlines that fly into the south...
you can fly direct but must stop in turkey first to enter North Cyprus. From the UK, you may wish to fly direct and non-stop to Larnaca airport to enter North Cyprus. The flight is only 4 hours long and there are no touchdowns. trasnfer times to Famagusta resort are 35 minutes and 1hr 20 minutes to Kyrenia resort. This service was first started in 2003 by Direct Traveller - the UK's leading tour operator to north Cyprus.
to Larnaca - biggest airport in Cyprus (still quite small) recently built - my recommendationto Paphos (small airport and slightly inconvenient)or to the airport in the north, but because there are lots of issues between the north and the south, most everyone flies to the south, unless of course, you are coming from turkey.
In 1960, Cyprus gained independence from British rule, but only after plans for 'enosis' or union with Greece, was abandoned by both Greek and Turkish Cypriots. However, tensions grew to such an extent that in 1974, the Greek military junta removed President Makarios from office, and just days later Turkish forces occupied the northern side of the island to protect the Turkish Cypriot population. As the island divided, approximately 160,00 Greek Cypriots fled south, and 50,000 Turkish Cypriots fled north. In 1983, the north declared independence and established the Turkish republic of North Cyprus, or TRNC. In the last three years, leaders on both sides have made positive progress towards a resolution of their differences, despite the rejection of the UN Annan Plan for reunification put forward in 2004. Since 1974, the UN has maintained the border between the two countries, known as the Green Line. After many years of effective isolation, the border is now open, so tourists and local alike can travel freely between north and south Cyprus. Tourist can fly into North Cyprus' own international airport, Ercan, or fly into the south Republic of Cyprus Larnaca airport and drive over the border. South Cyprus is a member of the EU, whilst North Cyprus is not. The currency in south Cyprus is the Euro, whilst the Turkish lira is used in North Cyprus, with the effect that prices in the north are about a third less than in the south.
The best place to find information about holidays in the north of Cyprus is on the website "Cyprus Holidays Advisor". Additional information can be found on "North Cyprus Guide" or on "simple North Cyprus".
Is WHAT the same for North Cyprus? You need to specify you're question!
North Cyprus Airlines was created on 2011-01-18.
No, in the South the Euro is the currency, in the North it is the Turkish Lira.
