Nicosia (Lefkosía in Greek, Lefkoşa in Turkish) is Cyprus’ capital and the last divided capital in the world. The city straddles the Green Line, a buffer zone that separates the Republic of Cyprus in the south from the Turkish-controlled north. Within its Venetian walls you’ll find narrow streets, Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques and museums. With a rental car, you can explore the walled city and the modern suburbs at your own pace.
## Why Rent a Car in Nicosia?

* Day trips beyond the city – Nicosia’s central location makes it the perfect base for exploring the Troodos Mountains, Larnaca beaches and archaeological sites across Cyprus.
* Comfort in summer – A modern, air-conditioned rental car keeps you cool and comfortable during Cyprus’s hot summers.

## Can I Drive into Northern Cyprus?
Our vehicles are insured and licensed for use in the Republic of Cyprus only. The insurance is not valid in the northern part of the island, so cars cannot be taken across the Green Line. If you wish to visit Northern Cyprus, we recommend walking across the Ledra Street checkpoint and renting a separate vehicle on the other side.
