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] Lower prices may be found through offers on Hostelworld.com

More Details - Kyrenia: Cyprus Dorms: 10 euro for a dorm. Best to book (egg. hostelbookers) cause there are only four dorms available. Free wifi, kitchen with fridge and lockers. Very nice location. Recommended. Address: Bozoklar Sk - Famagusta: Golden Set: For 30 TL (13 euro) you have a single with cold shower. 60 for a double with hot shower. Good location and free wifi. No kitchen, but cheap food next door. Address: Yesil Deniz (between Othello Tower and Porta del Mar) - North Nicosia: Aksaray Pension. Nice place with a courtyard and friendly owner. Excellent located in the old town. Free wifi, but no kitchen and no lockers. 10 euro for a dorm. (workers places are cheaper see above) Address: Mecidiye 63 (Old Town, near Buyuk Hamam) Website: http://www.aksaraypansiyon.com/ - South Nicosia: Youth Board: Free wifi, kitchen, lockers and a fantastic location. Also perfect for doing day-trips from here (Kourion, Paphos, …) to places with more expensive accommodation. Age limit is 35. Dorm is 10 euro. Address: Chrysaliniotissis (North-East Old Town) Website: http://www.youthboard.org.cy/default.asp?id=297 - Larnaka: Old YHA. 10 euro for a bed in the dorm. Perfect location. Kitchen, but no wifi, no lockers and only cold showers. The least attractive place for me, but a good option for connecting flights. Address: Nikolaou Rossou (opposite Livadhiotis; go through the archway and up the stairs on the right) Paphos: HI hostel charging 25 euro (book ahead) http://www.hihostels.com/hostels/Paphos-King's-Hotel-Cyprus-index-E-CY-014001.php also Triton Hotel is eur 15 in upper town
