About Nicosia
Nicosia, Lefkoşa in Turkish, is the capital of North Cyprus. Its old town is ringed by 16th-century Venetian walls, with narrow streets and some of the island's finest buildings close together.
-
Kyrenia Gate
The northern way into the old town, in walls with eleven heart-shaped bastions.
-
Selimiye Mosque
Built as the Gothic cathedral of St Sophia in the 13th and 14th centuries, with minarets added in Ottoman times.
-
Büyük Han
The Great Inn, an Ottoman caravanserai from 1572, its courtyard now full of cafés and craft shops.
-
Arasta and Bandabuliya
The old market street beside the mosque and the restored covered market, for local produce and sweets.

Good to know
Four things worth knowing before you set off.
-
What to bring
Your passport and a valid full driving licence, national or international. Drivers must be at least 25, and the minimum rental is three days.
-
Drive on the left
The same as in the UK.
-
North Cyprus only
Our insurance is valid in North Cyprus only, so the car stays in the North, also in Nicosia, where the border runs through the city.
-
Landing in the South?
Flying into Larnaca or Paphos? We arrange a paid transfer to North Cyprus, where we hand over your car.
More questions
What fuel level do I return the car with?
The same level you received it with. There is nothing to pre-pay, and if the car comes back with less fuel we charge the difference at the pump price.
What if I want to keep the car longer?
Message us in advance and we will extend the booking. After your agreed return time there is a three-hour grace period at no charge; beyond that, a full extra day is charged.
What if the car breaks down?
Call our roadside assistance line. If it is a mechanical fault, we repair the car or bring you a replacement at no charge.
