Como se deslocar
The walled old city and historic center on both sides of the Green Line are extremely walkable. Most major sights are within a 20-30 minute walk of each other.
Dicas locais
- Always carry your passport (or a clear photocopy) when crossing the Green Line into the north. You will need to show it at the checkpoint.
- For the best halloumi, visit the municipal market (Laiki Agora) in the morning and look for the cheese stalls. Ask for 'saganaki' style—fried and served with lemon.
- When in the north, withdraw Turkish Lira (₺) from ATMs after crossing for the best rates. Euros are widely accepted but change is often given in Lira.
