Cyprus Borders

(Est. 2002) Direct Traveller - 1st & leading UK Tour Operator offering direct flight holidays in North Cyprus since 2004.

In 2003 the border restrictions between North Cyprus and Cyprus were eased. Locals could cross the borders for a limited period on a daily basis. This then expanded to all tourists being allowed through the borders for a daily basis.

In 2004 when Cyprus joined the EU, the border restrictions were completely removed with tourists able to cross freely between both sides for any length of duration.

Direct Traveller was the first operator to introduce this pioneering opportunity for holiday makers.

For two years Direct Traveller solely offered holidays through Larnaca airport. In 2007 Direct Traveller also introduced holiday makers the option of flying Via Turkey to Ercan.
To date Direct Traveller holds its recognized status in the market as the leading operator offering direct flight holidays through Larnaca. Our specialist services mean we can provide holiday makers with a hassle free travel experience.

The Direct Traveller border experience:

Upon arrival our representatives welcome you to Cyprus, accompanying you to our experienced driver.

Upon arrival our representatives welcome you to Cyprus, accompanying you to our experienced driver.

You are then transferred in an air-conditioned vehicle to North Cyprus.

En-route you pause for a couple of minutes, giving opportunity for our driver to process the brief border crossing regulatory controls. Our driver will ask for your passports, and will show the border control officers for you. Unlike other operators,

Direct Traveller Larnaca transfers are direct. You are not asked to change vehicle, or even interact with anybody.

Once our driver returns to the vehicle, he will pass you your passports with a white slip enclosed. You are expected to keep this slip for the duration of your holiday, returning it to our driver on the homeward transfer.

Transfer times from Larnaca to Kyrenia will take approximately 1hr 20mins, and Larnaca to Famagusta will take approximately 35mins.
Travelling with Direct Traveller, the specialist operator offering the direct flight services, not only means a most competitive price, but experienced and fully trained personnel at hand to look after you during your entire stay – making a harmonious holiday experience.

Border Developments

As the leading specialist offering holiday’s through the borders of Cyprus, we are pleased to announce the border updates section of our website. See the developments of Cyprus borders as it changes. We promise to keep you updated!

Although continuously expanding, there are currently 6 border crossing points in Cyprus, and here is how it all happened:

2003 April
Turkish and Greek Cypriots cross island's dividing "green line" for first time in 30 years after Turkish Cypriot authorities ease border restrictions.

2004
Direct Traveller launched the first ever holiday through the borders of Cyprus for over 30 years

2007 January - March
Greek and Turkish Cypriots demolish barriers dividing the old city of Nicosia. The moves are seen as paving the way for another official crossing point on what used to be a key commercial thoroughfare. More border crossing are continually opened.

2008
Mehmet Ali Talat has become the first Turkish Cypriot leader for decades to walk down Nicosia's Ledra Street into Greek Cypriot territory. Mr Talat, flanked by security staff, chatted to shopkeepers and bought ice cream, coffee and CDs.

Ledra Street was opened a week ago for the first time since 1964.Relations between the island's divided communities have thawed since the election of a New Greek Cypriot president in February.
The opening of the Ledra Street crossing has been seen as a major confidence-building measure before peace talks resume in June. "My visit to Ledra sends a message of friendship and Turkish Cypriot efforts to solve the Cyprus problem," Mr Talat told reporters.

"I have come to see what is going on here to experience the new climate,"

The Turkish Cypriot leader said he had walked down the street on the spur of the moment. Ledra Street is the sixth crossing point to open on the island in recent years, but it was seen as one of the most symbolic of the enduring divisions.
