Don if you hire a car in northern cyprus and want to go over to the south of the island you will have to leave your hired car at the border and cross by foot.Kyrenia is beauitful the harbour is full of nice bars,resturants,cafes,etc there are many nice hotels around ive been there twice love the north even though i have family in the south.Mind you last time i took a flight from london to larnaca i was held for two hours because i had a ercan stamp on my passport via istambul,no problems with main land turkey stamps but if you have a northern cyprus one on your passport then you will have a problem getting into the south.In the end they allowed me in franked out the hole page on my passport with the ercan stamp on it and warned me i could never come back into the south if they ever found a n ercan stamp again on my passport family or no family living in limassol,theres still alot of hatetred there even though things have moved on.Belabyses is worth a visit in the north but dont bother with famagasta things are still the same for many years.Good luck with your trip you will love the north side.
