If I get to CY this spring (it's very expensive) I would go for the South Eastern one for sure.
 
The northern one must be attached from UK, and I don't think you can travel so freely there.
 
When I visited CY (and a minor borderfreak) 6 years ago I remember travelling through Dhekelia with the coach. It was the road along the coach, and there was a tall fence on both sides. I regrets to this day, I did not know what I know today and had the same interest and ethusiasm.
 
Judging from the map I am scanning from, I did travel through UN to and from Nicosia, where I follow the border in the city center.

thanx jesper
that is quite a bit different than the cia depicts these

one seems almost on the shoulder of a main road too
& thus the most likely of the 4 to get visited first
while the other seems so remote
& least likely to ever get visited

interesting too how much broader the un buffer zone is there
almost as if it were a territory in its own right


thanx to pete & doug too for the gbbe itinerary

i wish you guys would scoop up all 6 of those tripoints
