== Border crossing ==
The EU doesn't recognise the Turkish right to put a border, so if you have a passport/visa valid for the EU you can cross it 10 times a daywithout limitation. It makes no difference if you entered from Turkey and have a stamp. (Note all native born Northern Cypriots can enter the south, but most Turkish immigrants and other guest workers from the north cannot, because they don't have EU visas)
== Ferries to Cyprus Nomadwiki & Trashwiki ==From [[Turkey]] there are ferries Between [[Taşucu]] (Mersin Province) to [[Kyrenia]] ("Girne"), [[Alanya]] and [[Antalya]]. The night (slow) ferry From [[Taşucu]] is 72 Lyra, including port taxes. In summer fast ferries run everyday, but in the winter there are 2 slow ferries weekly (60TL or 100TL return) There are also ferries Between [[Mersin]] City in [[Turkey]] and [[Famagusta]] "Gazimagusta" in the East of the North side. But, apparently booking a plane ticket from any major city in the South to the Airport in North Cyprus is cheaper. It only requires some pre-planning.
From the South side there are '''no ferries''' 2012-13, [http://www.varianostravel.com/cruises/Limassol-Cyprus-Rhodes-Greece-ferry-boat-service.htm an agent comments]<br>There is a 2012 discussion about [http://www.world-nomad.com/tag/cyprus-ferries-to-israel/#axzz2PxaPRfT3 Israel ferries].

BUS FAQ
<br>* Paphos Airport to Nicosia - best take the bus to Limassol City then change to Nicosia bus. In Paphos the Nicosia bus is up the hill at Paphos Karavella which is only directly connected at at 08:00 or 19:00 (Otherwise you first take the bus to Paphos Harbour & then to Paphos Karavella) http://www.cyprusbybus.com/routes.aspx?sid=8
<br>* Larnaca Airport does have direct buses to Limassol or Nicosia http://www.cyprusbybus.com/routes.aspx?sid=9
 
== Sleeping ==
Costs for paid accomodation are high.
Free camping is allowed with the land owners permission. It seems OK on beaches and forests.
