<div id="ygrps-yiv-1002861643">According to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office web site at <br/>

 &quot;It is possible to travel to the north of Cyprus from the south by <br/>
crossing at the United Nations-controlled Ledra Palace checkpoint in <br/>
Nicosia. But tourists may only cross between 0800-1300 and must <br/>
return by 1700 the same day. You may not take a hire car through the <br/>
checkpoint, although it is possible to hire one once you have crossed <br/>
into the north. Goods bought in the north may be confiscated at the <br/>
checkpoint on return to the south.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
I didn&#39;t think this was possible, especially not for tourists. Has <br/>
anyone actually done this?</div>
