FAQ
Can I take a hire car to the north ? Yes in 2013 it was easy, but your agency probably charges an extra €25 insurance fee which is valid for 1 month.
Places To Stay
Due to costs being high I list a few
Free camping is allowed with the land owners permission. It seems OK on beaches and forests.
- Girne : Cyprus Dorms eur 10 (ask for the workers side it's without AC €offers) [1]
- Larnaka : Youth Hostel next door to old market for eur 10
- Lefkosa : On the North side there are workers dorms from 10TL ask around. In the South there is a Youth Hostel near Famagusta gate for eur 10 (over 35 year olds not allowed)
- Lemassol : The new owner at the Luxor Hostel can only be pushed down as far as €15
- Pafos : the Triton Hotel is eur 15 upper town
- Polis : camping can be bargained to eur 5
- Pegia near Paphos : There is a rainbow Community (maybe WWOOfing) [2]
