There are no longer any restrictions on border crossings for EU citizens in
Cyprus, as of 2003. EU citizens are free to cross and spend as much time as they wish on either side of the border by producing their ID cards or passports at crossing points any time of the day (24 hrs). At present, there are five crossing points where pedestrians can cross,
Ledra
Palace and Ledra Street (Lokmaci) border gates in Lefkoşa (
Nicosia), whilst those who intend to cross by vehicle can use the Metehan (Kermia) border gate in Lefkoşa, Beyarmudu (Pile) near the British Sovereign bases at Dhekelia and the Akyar border gates near Gazimağusa (
Famagusta) on the Larnaca-Famagusta road.
