Ercan International Airport

Airport travel guide

The capital of Northern Cyprus, the Turkish-speaking entity that’s politically separate from the Greek-speaking side, North Nicosia is an interesting city to explore. Called Lefkoşa in Turkish, it is notable for the impressive Selimiye Mosque, the Kyrenia Gate, and a markedly different atmosphere than on the south side. North Nicosia can also serve as a hub for exploring the rest of Northern Cyprus. Please note that while the border between the northern and southern sides is open to most foreign visitors, it is not permitted to cross it in a hired car. If you’re arriving from the Greek-speaking side, you can hire a car in North Nicosia and travel across the rest of Northern Cyprus with it.
